New Mini-Unit: Revving Up Writing Muscles

To serve as a ramp into the first 2nd grade unit, Lessons from the Masters, we recommend teaching  this two-week if/then precursor unit, "Revving Up Writing Muscles," composed of a curricular calendar and five scripted mini lessons.  This unit can be found under the Grade 2 Units of Study in Opinion, Information and Narrative Writing at the top of the resources for Unit 1 "Lessons from the Masters in Narrative Writing" on heinemann.com.
