Emergency, I am missing page 47 and 48 from my Writeshop teachers ed.

Could someone take the time to scan those two pages and email them to me? Thanks Cheryl

Hi Cheryl,

I've scanned the pages, but either I'm not savvy enough with this new board or you don't allow people to email you from it. Send me an email, and I'll reply to you.

If you don't know, you should be able to click on Sue in St Pete and then there will be an option to email me.

What does it add to the student text? Is it very helpful? Do you consider it crucial? Worth it?

(I bought Writeshop at a conference, and didn't know that there even was a TE for it. It seems so self-explanatory to me that I thought it was a standalone student text, like Writing Strands.)

It contains a lot of information. If you can teach writing off the top of your head, you don't need it. It has lesson plans, editing & evaluating, positive & encouraging comments, addressing errors lesson by lesson, common problems of mechanics, student writing samples, skill builder keys, pre-writing & lesson activity keys, handy references, and supplemental activities.

One example: We are on lesson 5: describing a food. For the practice paragraph, it tells you to make hot buttered popcorn. It walks you through the 5 senses of popcorn. It tells you which word lists to focus on.

I need all the help I can get. Finally, the TE covers both WS 1 & 2.
