Writer's workshop is an idea that's been around for years. Students write, read, and comment on each others writing in an authentic and thoughtful way. Here is a 21st century twist, 6th graders will use the class blog to create a community of writers in the classroom. This Introductory lesson plan contains 7 complete lessons and instructions on how to get a class blog started. Each lesson plan focuses on reinforcing a different type of writing. Really great!
