Through this instructional DVD Lucy Calkins and her colleagues open the doors of their classrooms and invite you to eavesdrop on their elementary writing workshops. Carefully correlated to each of the units of study in Grades 3–5, two hours of live-from-the classroom video clips walk you through an entire year of instruction and allow you to observe how Lucy Calkins initiates minilessons and teaches writing strategies; listen in on conferences and small group instruction; study the structures and rituals that characterize a well-managed writing workshop.

Each video clip is supported by an optional voice-over coaching commentary from Lucy that explains the teaching moves and strategies. This DVD is an invaluable tool for professional educators who want to become experts in the teaching of writing and staff developers who want to advance writing instruction.
