Engaging with good writing helps students develop a vision when they’re asked to create their own texts. In this episode, we discuss why teachers will want to spend a few days immersing students in the genre they will write at the beginning of a unit. We share strategies and protocols to help your students engage in the work of reading like a writer at the beginning of a unit of study.
