Are Your Writing Strategies Displayed?

[srea]

I will send them to you in just a bit. I'd love to get your feedback!

To everyone who has asked for the writing menus, note the following:

"Please note that the writing menus shared here are adapted from the CAFE menu © Boushey and Moser."

We all want to make sure that we are giving credit to the Sisters for all their work. I have added this notation to the bottom of my menus. In the future if I share them with you, this will be added. If you received them earlier, please be sure to note this on your copies.

Thanks for understanding.

Hi!

I would love to know more about the combination Reading/Writing Cafe Board. I think this is a GREAT ideas as readers make writers and writers make readers! Could you say more about how you link specific reading/writing strategies like you did for "Check For Understanding"?
Thanks,
JBlue

I'll send the menus to you. We did if for 4 areas of writing--Content and Development, Organization, Revision and Editing and Conventions. We went through our state standards for 1st and 2nd grade. We decided to use the format of the "menu", as our students are so familiar with it from CAFE.

As I mentioned above, just be sure to note that we adapted our format from the Daily CAFE by the Sisters.

Thanks so much!

I will send them your way. You'll see how we put them into the CAFE format. (Note the acknowledgement at the bottom of them.) These are designed for first and second grades, but could be easily adapted for your grade level with your standards.

I

I remember the acronym for Writing. It is CORE: Content, Organization, Revision, Editing.
I teach First Grade and use a pinterest idea for building speed and fluency with writing BEFORE I even tackle any meaningful writing. It involves: Forming Neat Letters, Finger Space, Capitalize/Punctuate a sentence. Spell Word Wall words (hi-frequency words) correctly. After students master this
, I take them through small group writing to teach narrative, opinion, and how-to writing.

I'll send it to you in just a bit :). Let me know what you think.
