Make the maps work for you

Start with Writing: Check for Understanding if you want classroom strategies to examine. Follow one branch at a time, then explain how the ideas connect without looking at the map. For a different focus, compare those strategies with the workshop ideas in Writing Workshop.

When you want to check your recall, switch to a quiz on the Teaching Writing unit page. For shorter sessions, use flashcards to revisit terms and stages before returning to a map. Open a map and trace a branch that catches your attention.
