ELA Resources
K-8 Reading Workshop Curricular Calendars: While we will not fully implement reader's workshop until the '15-'16 school year, some teachers have asked for training and resources to be able to begin implementing readers workshop at the same time they implement writers workshop. These calendars provide possible ideas for structuring reader's workshop units. Please be sure that if you use these, you adapt them to fit within the units outlined in the FFSD ELA Pacing Guides.
Oral Storytelling: Sample framework, First 10 lessons to kickoff oral storytelling, Sample videos of Oralstorytelling
CCSS ELA Learning Progressions: These are a great document that have one page per ELA standard. Each page shows the standard language from K-12th grade. This is very helpful for looking at how the standards evolve from grade to grade.
Writer's Workshop
Units of Study for Writing CDs- Because many of the district computers do not have CD drives, we have placed the contents of the CDs that were included in the writing kits here for use by those that have writing kits.
