I've enjoyed reading Jennifer Serravallo's Reading Strategies book and now her Writing Strategies book.

One way I could support teachers especially in our 1:1 Chromebook environment is by making digital versions of her charts and turning them into graphic organizers that teachers can use to project for whole class as part of mini lessons or share specific strategies with specific children as needed.  I am encouraging my literacy coaches to narrate some of the charts/organizers using screencasting tools.  There are so many ways we can support staff and remain relevant and this is one way. While building student independence as they strengthen skills.

I am sharing my folders with you with the hope that you might be able to use them, share them, and maybe decide to join me in creating them--which then I will change the sharing rights for you.

The only thing I ask.. if you use them or make copies of the docs, is that you please keep the "credits" in the notes sections. We want to give proper credit to Serravallo and I have reached out to her about how I am creating digital charts. The writing strategies portion, I have added my own "tips" on using this digital version which came out of playing around in making the slides because I had to think about the strategy and its use by teachers with students.  So, it is quite beneficial to create them.

Please use them and again, if you want to join me, I'd love a partner!

Jane
