Yep, seriously. Here's what other buyers are saying:

"This resource is extremely thorough, which I admit (as a homeschooling parent) overwhelmed me at first looking at the overall unit -- that is until I really started reading through the individual lessons. What an extremely full study this is! My daughter is an awesome creative writer, but we hadn't really taught her the basics since she had such a natural knack for it. However, having just having started this lesson I can tell that this will do the trick in filling in her narrative writing gaps! In conclusion, as an English major and writer myself, I cannot say enough about how much time and effort went into this resource, which makes it a must have for any narrative writing class -- it really is for ours! Thank you." -Katherine McMaster

Got Q's? I've got A's!

Q: Will this work if I only have xx minutes?

A: YES! The best part of my writing units are that they will work with any schedule. I used them when I had my dream schedule and 75 minutes for writing every day and I used them for an entire year when I just had a mere 30 minutes of writing 4 days each week. All you do is adjust the Independent Writing Portion. For example:

Schedule with 30 Minutes of Writing:

• Mini-Lesson: 5 Minutes (Make it happen – set a timer and stop at 5 minutes! My lessons make it easy for you so no excuses)
• Independent Writing: 20 Minutes
• Share Time: 5 Minutes

Schedule with 60 Minutes of Writing:

• Mini-Lesson: 5-10 Minutes
• Independent Writing: 45 Minutes
• Share Time: 5-10 Minutes

Q: Do I need to teach these units in the order you’ve included?

A: Nope! Not at all I recommend this order, but you should do what works best for your classroom (always)!

Q: How do you teach grammar with these units?

A: Grammar is not technically included in these units. I usually teach grammar separately and in writing conferences during Independent Writing. I always have a weird 10-15 minute gap throughout the day where I would focus on teaching one grammar lesson/week and reviewing it all week long. Then I notice gaps or areas of weakness when meeting with students in writing conferences. Using that data, I form small groups that I meet with during Independent Writing and teach that focus lesson.

You don't have to do all the planning and research on your own. I've got you.
