In this ongoing writing class, the students will be introduced to Writing Workshop model of writing throughout the year. Each month is a new unit of study and monthly theme in writing: Getting Ready for Second Grade Writing- Mechanics of Writing, Narrative Writing, Fictional Writing, Informational Writing, How to Writing, Opinion Writing I, Comic Strip Writing, Writing Fairy Tales, Poetry Writing, Daily Writing Skills, Writing Prompts, and a second unit of study on Opinion Writing II.   
   The class will be presented individual lessons that do not build onto each other but, work on individual skills needed for Improving Writing in each area.  The students will be presented writing strategies through the Writing Workshop mini-lesson model of instruction. The lessons reflect a range of the writing standards for second grade level.
     The component of each individual lesson includes:  a group meeting, a connection, teaching point, teaching-demonstration & and explicit writing instruction with a discussion and an active engagement writing session that students apply new skills.
   The students will be introduced to the lesson through group writing using a class writing example. Each individual class will help the students gain structure in their daily writing skills, help students develop writing strategies, and skills in developing strong writing skills. Students learn to generate ideas for writing and make a plan to carry out a specific writing task. The students are guided to ask and respond to questions as they write to develop new writing pieces. 
  
   The following units of study will be presented throughout the year.  The lessons will be presented through a new unit of study each month using power point presentation, and Google slides.
