Serravallo's Writing Strategies Book Study

What a celebration! Tonight was the third and final session of a class I planned and facilitated on Jennifer Serravallo's "The Writing Strategies Book" for teachers in my district. Our work in the class loosely followed suggestions from the study guide that can be found on the Heinemann website.

The level of engagement and excitement far exceeded my expectations for teachers after long days of school and near the end of the school year. Teachers came to class the first night eager to get their hands on the book and came back each session wanting to learn more.

We learned about the strategies in class and teachers tried some out during the weeks in between classes. My favorite activities that worked well for the class were:
- Mark-Up Mentor Text
- Visualize It
