Caring Outcomes: The ability to care enables people to relate effectively to others. The concept of relating effectively to others means being able to develop friendships, work with other people, and communicate, but it also means more. It encompasses the ability to understand, appreciate, and recognize as legitimate the wide range of human experiences-current, past, and future-around the planet. Three of the factors that enhance a students capacity to CARE are self-awareness, selfesteem and a sense of efficacy.

Write at least 4 observations/comments about the picture, again thinking aloud. Use boxes to help frame the sequence or show a chaining of ideas, which should move forward.
Teacher Example:
I can cook. I make good chicken. I make brown gravy. I cook dinner for my family.
Facilitate a choral reading of the piece after it is completed to bring closure to the activity. Save this piece for Step 7 where the teacher will use it to model revising and editing.

STUDENT DRAFTING
Teacher Directions Say to Students: Now it is your turn to draw/write a story! Remember you are sharing with someone else your good ideas. Draw/write about things you like about yourself. I cant wait for you to share your drawing and/or writing with me! There are so many special things about each of you! Note: Many children in Kindergarten are not developmentally ready to use lined paper. Writings may range from children relying primarily on pictures/scribbles to convey meaning, to writing recognizable short words/sentences about the picture. Students will need 20 minutes or longer to complete their pieces.

Think about all the stories weve heard about each person being special.
Reread with me the piece that I wrote about why I think it is great to be me. Rereading is one of the most powerful strategies we can use when we write. Help me revise and edit my piece. The teacher models the revising and editing process, using INSERT B for Step 7. The teacher needs to select from the questions included in the checklist. Children cannot address every writing component when they revise or edit a piece. The teacher needs to use a focused approach. Choose some things from the list the first time you use the unit (in September, for instance) and different things when you return in January and again in May.

Use the authors chair to have a student reread his/her story to classmates.
2. Ask peers to orally respond to each others work using I liked/I learned. statements. For example: I liked how you drew yourself jumping rope. I learned that you make people feel good. 3. Help the audience offer one or two suggestions that clarify meaning. See statement cues below. 4. Hold teacher/student conferences. These occur when the teacher serves as a reflective audience for the young author. The teacher asks questions or makes statements such as: When I read your story, I understood When you read your piece in the authors chair, did someone make a suggestion that might make your story better? Help me understand This reminds me When I read your story, I was confused by Can you tell me? I wondered? This made me think about Tell me more. What else...? Have the student read aloud his/her piece and support the editing process using the Kindergarten Focus Correction Checklist. The editing should be developmentally appropriate and focused on the elements students are working on. The students thinking is honored as well as the product. This is a perfect opportunity for the teacher to ask the student how s/he feels about learning to write. Record responses on the Teacher Response sheet.
Then use the Teacher Response sheet to share something you liked
about or learned from the students drawing or writing. Write your response in front of the student and read it to him/her before stapling it onto the piece.

Have the students sit in an Authors Chair and read what they have drawn/written to the class, peer and/or teacher. Ask peers to speak in complete sentences (I liked how you I learned that you) to share with the author what they liked/learned. Encourage the children to be as specific as possible.

Teacher Directions
Select from list on page 4-5 of this packet, or from your own basal or collection of trade books two realistic fiction stories for reading-aloud within a one-day period for the purpose of theme development and cross-text comparison.
1.
Introduce the first story you have selected by doing a picture walk of the book before reading it aloud. Choose from the suggested Higher Level Question Cues to facilitate a group discussion around the theme relating it to the childrens lives.
2.
3. Use a T-square graphic organizer. The children can relate Story 1 to their own lives. Stories should be discussed one at a time before they are ever compared. Record their responses.
4.
Do a picture walk and reading of the second story. Again have the children compare Story 2 to their own lives. Compare the two stories to each other. Using the T-square or Pull-Apart Venn Diagram worksheets in this packet to organize the students responses, have the children start by giving examples of how the two stories are alike in the middle section. It is important that children are asked to give examples from the text to support their answers. (How did you know that?) Then ask for differences.
5.
STORY 1 IS DIFFERENT
STORY 2 IS DIFFERENT

Use the evaluations to determine where the child is developmentally. Analyze what the child knows about the writing process, craft, language usage and conventions. Copy INSERT C for Step 11 and staple this cumulative assessment form to each students portfolio. Identify the students strengths and areas of need for this round of writing instruction and document them in the comment section.
3.
4. Use INSERT D for Step 11 to develop a class profile that will guide you in the next round of lesson plans.
5.
To create ownership have students file their pieces in the students portfolio for use during parent-teacher conferences, child study or as documentation for a progress report. Students can put a star or smiley face on the piece indicating how they think they did. A Great Idea: A Grand Rapids teacher doesnt file student portfolios away. He creatively hangs them on the wall. He staples together two pieces of 12X18 construction paper to form a pocket. On the front of the pocket, he puts the students name and school photo. The students place their writings in the portfolios as each piece is completed. The students have easy access to their work and so do their parents! Its a great way to celebrate writing in a classroom! Collaborate in grade level teams using the students writing assessments to plan writing instruction/interventions that will move students towards the Kindergarten ELA Expectations. Enter classroom composite scores into a school- wide data bank for analysis by the School Improvement, Grade Level or Language Arts Team. Analysis can be used to develop intervention strategies and document progress in meeting school improvement goals.

Each child should make 1 years growth in a year. Therefore, if a student enters Kindergarten at a level 2 or 3 the teacher needs to continually expand instruction to meet that childs needs.
