The Grand Plan...

I've laid out my plan for my reader's workshop.  Remembering that it is just that, a plan, I share it here.  I'm excited for my workshops to begin!

My Reader's Workshop Plan:

September

• Establish workshop routines
• Learn the genre of a test
• Getting to know oneself as a reader

October

• Launching the Reader's Workshop (continuation from September)
• Moving into Strategies

November

• Reading Fiction--focus on strategies
• Visualizing, Schema, Questioning

December

• Reading Nonfiction

January

• Reading nonfiction

February

• Reading Fiction--focus on strategies
• Metacognition, inferring, and synthesizing

March

• Reading Fiction
• Literary Elements
• Literary Appreciation

April

• Reading poetry

May

• Genre Study
• Author Study

**This is a pretty basic structure.  I hope to write more at the beginning of each month as I lay out the month's lessons.  Finally, I am a Montessori teacher.  That means that I will adjust the plan when needed to meet the needs of my students.  That's just good teaching...really!  One final thought, each month's work should build upon the last.

Happy Reading!
