BuyEverything for five weeks of writing workshop.
Mentor texts
Curated texts from writers who actually represent the genre. Personal narrative by contemporary memoirists. Persuasion from civic voices. Research from science communicators. Poetry from a global range of poets.
Craft minilessons
Five to seven focused craft lessons aligned to the mentor texts. Taught in 15-minute blocks. Each lesson has a clear model and an invitation for independent practice.
Conferring questions
Structured conferring protocols for individual student writing conferences. Questions that open the writing rather than closing it with teacher judgment.
Equity notes
Notes for each week on representation, access, and how to honor the writing students bring from home. Because writing workshop that ignores who is in the room does not work.
The Practitioner
A monthly publication for Montessori practitioners.
For educators who believe the quality of the prepared environment is inseparable from the equity of its reach. Free.
