Patty did a great job with this presentation. She explained the connection between the routine and writing and made it sound doable. Writing is such a challenge for students and is not currently taught explicitly in our state. Some teachers are interested and using the Sentence Writing strategies, but this will help many of the content teachers to go to the next step in their classes and support all students. I plan to attend the other session where she speaks to writing in more of the routines, but it will be after the conference.
