Marvelous Minilessons for Teaching Intermediate Writing, Grades 4-6

Finally-a resource to help you teach writing specifically to intermediate students! Bestselling author Lori Jamison Rog presents 40 of her favorite tried-and-true research-based writing minilessons, covering everything from planning strategies to crafting specific genres. Each minilesson is linked to one or more of the six traits of effective writing and includes

- A specific learning goal
- Sample student writing to use as models
- Graphic organizers to support guided practice
- 'Teacher talk' to show you the language you might use when presenting the lesson
- Additional teaching ideas to take your instruction even further

This is not a prescriptive writing program; rather, think of this as a menu of lessons from which you may choose, fully adaptable to meet your students needs and fit into your curriculum.
