The Simple Writing Mini Lesson That Moves Every Writer Forward
A 15-minute writing mini lesson formula that moves every kid forward — even the ones who say “I don’t know what to write” before you’ve finished the directions.
What you’ll walk away with
- The three-part mini lesson formula (mentor text → anchor chart → task) that fits in 15 minutes flat
- How to break any writing skill into pieces small enough that every student can succeed today
- The “masterpiece” system that keeps every student at the same place in the writing process — so you’re never running six different lessons at once
- A simple plan for fast finishers that doesn’t involve coloring or waiting around
- A 2-minute focused writing task that gets you 10x the writing of saying “okay, go write”
