To those of you I've sent the menu to, I'd love to hear some feedback about it and how you might have improved on it or changed it for your needs :).

I was one of the people you shared the menu with. I teach a 4/5 combined class. I have been thinking about what I need to add and delete to meet my purpose. I was thinking about posting it, but have been hesitating becuase I already have the cafe board and a running lists for daily 3 math. Do you have yours posted?

I'm a literacy coach/reading spec at my school, so I don't really have a room :). Many of our teachers do have the menu posted, but then they don't have Daily 3 Math posted, so I can understand your thinking.

Certainly you could just put the writing menu in their writing folders, and refer to it while you are conferring rather than posting, if that would work for you. One of our teachers made a "poster-board" sized writing menu with all the strategies on it, and uses a piece of highlighter transparency to showcase the specific strategy for the mini-lessons she's teaching.

I think you just have to make it work for you!!

Here is a link to First Steps Writing Map of Development. It overviews writing across the developmental stages.

I use the VOICES acronym for the 6 traits of writing. Voice, Organization, Ideas/content, Conventions, Extended Vocabulary, Sentence fluency. I can't remember where I got the specific strategies, but I did find them on someones blog 3 years ago in a printable formate. I'll see if I can't post the link when I find it.
