Here are some anchor charts that teachers put together in a staff development. We used the model of invitations to collect from Jeff Anderson's work in Everyday Editing. Teachers collected samples from mentor text and from they had written. Charts like these made with the students will anchor and honor students's thinking. They will serve as an example to imitate. The collection of these sentences can take place during reader's workshop and throughout the day with an encouragement to find them all subject areas. Students are looking for the patterns that they are studying during the week in style and the function of language. Enjoy! How else could you use these anchor charts with student writers? We collected in our small groups and shared out in a gallery walk. Then the participants wrote their name next to the ones they liked best. We then would have talked to a partner about which ones we liked and why. We ran out of time. Funny, how we never walk out of time, huh? Then we would share out and refer to them during the weeks lessons and highlight their use in our own writing. Thus these texts teach us many things including style and grammar. There are more connections to be made in the reading and writing classroom. Just reading some of these makes me want to try them out and then read the books that are annotated. What other connections can be made?
