This week I read Craft Lessons Teaching Writing K-8 pages 14-43. These pages were focused on lessons that can be used in kindergarten through second grade classrooms. This chapter focused on different mini lessons lessons that build a strong writing and reading foundation. The mini lessons gave a topic. It then gave the resource material need for the lesson, the discussion, and how to teach it. I found these lessons very useful. I would like to have a copy of all of these lessons for my files. One of the lessons focused on cause and effect. It used the story Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse as a story to use to help teach this lesson. We have read this story in the classroom a few times this year and my kids love it. I am going to teach this lesson to my class using the story and see how it goes. I enjoyed these lessons and I am excited about teaching them in my classroom!
