Teach One Skill Across 3+ Days

Students don’t learn everything in one 15-minute mini-lesson. Consequently, plan multiple mini-lessons to teach a specific skill. This will require teachers to slow down to allow students a chance to recognize the skill and try the skill before expecting them to apply the skill within their own writing. As always, be sure to link the skill to one of the 6 Traits of Writing and update the yearlong display to include it.
