Writing to Learn - from Edutopia

Edutopia published a wonderful blog post:
Low-Stakes Writing: Writing to Learn, Not Learning to Write

This blog post gives practical ideas for incorporating writing across the day at any grade level and in any content area. The goal for writing is to get kids writing as much as possible - so much, that it is near impossible to keep up with them!  The more they write and publish to an authentic audience, the more authentic feedback they can receive.

All of the ideas in the blog post align to and can be combined with our district's writing supplemental resource:
The Common Core Writing Book (K-5)
The Common Core Writing Book (6-8)

If you do not have a copy of the book for your grade level, please contact the Teaching, Learning and Innovation Department to get a copy.

Want to start implementing, but not sure where to start?  Check with your building's instructional coach!  Your instructional coach is there to assist you and provide support as you look to incoroporate more writing across your day!
