There is certainly a reason that Lucy Calkins is considered an authority on writing in the classroom. I was pulled in quickly to this article (chapters). The examples and explanations of mini-lessons were practical and could be used right away.
What I am most excited about is that over the summer, as I slaved away at NIWP, another teacher at my school, informed me that she was reading Lucy Calkins' work over the summer as a way to enhance her students' writing in the classroom. The practices and skills I learned in this workshop and reading this article can be brought in to my school and I get to know that there are compatriots to discuss these great thoughts!!
