Writer's Workshop
I love to write. I have a few side jobs involving writing for online magazines and food blogs. I make writing a part of my everyday life, and I pass that passion on to my students. I take great pride in the fact that even my most resistant writers in September, consider themselves to be great authors in June.


At the Eliot School, we follow Lucy Calkin's Units of Study. We will cover the following units:
  • Personal Narrative
  • Persuasive Writing
  • Non-Fiction Informational Writing
  • Poetry
  • Realistic Fiction

A lot of our writing starts in our Writer's Notebooks. These notebooks are the heart of our writing program. We plant our writing seeds in our notebooks. We write our memories, things we love, things we wish for, strong emotions and so much more. We then choose seed ideas to expand into stories.
