Mini+Lesson+Assignment

Mini-lesson assignment

Your mission is to collaboratively (in groups of 2) create a mini lesson that you will present to the class next week.
 * Your mini lesson must focus on some aspect of writing. While you can teach any content or topic during a mini-lesson (note taking strategies, reading strategies, etc.) for this lesson, I would like you to focus on a writing mini-lesson.
 * You may select a mini-lesson from our reading, “Craft Lessons” by Ralph Fletcher, from the Corbett website, or Read/Write/Think website. If you have a different idea for a mini lesson you’d like to try out, please talk to me about it first.
 * Your mini lesson should last no longer than 10 minutes (we’ll actually set a timer!). This is so we can get to all pairs during the class.
 * I encourage you to use visuals (a PPT slide), music, or other props/items.
