Using this platform\, she had inspired the nation to Read Woke with educators across the world joining in and sharing the movement with their students. A native of Mississippi\, she currently resides in Georgia with her anime-loving husband\, Michael\, and two rambunctious children\, Tristan and Trinity. When she is not reading\, you can find Cicely writing for her bi-monthly column in the School Library Journal where she shares her book recommendations. \n \nGwynn White-Best is the Library Media Specialist for the Robin Hood Library Media Center at an elementary school in Brooklyn\, New York.

Anytime we got an assignment\, we’d race to get the CliffsNotes that demystified expectations. These days\, instruction that once filled secondary school classrooms has moved into the upper elementary grades\, and kids are even more mystified—and more pressured\, too\, as writing about reading has become high stakes. \nIn this edWebinar\, Dr. Lucy Calkins\, one of the world’s foremost teachers of writing\, equips you to bring your kids along a logical cross-grade progression of instruction on writing literary essays so that you equip all your students with the skills they need to write insightful essays\, including essays on characters\, relationships\, themes\, and author’s craft. \nJess Mazzone and Katy Wischow\, two co-authors of the soon-to-be-released Units of Study in Writing\, follow this work by sharing high-leverage small groups and a set of potent tools that together can help your students explore the fine points of effective essays\, learning about evidence\, detail\, symbolism\, sentence complexity\, and the like. \nFinally\, you see how all of this can help your students feel ready for the expectations of state tests. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to elementary teachers and school and district leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Lucy Calkins is the Founding Director of The Reading and Writing Project at Mossflower. She’s been on the faculty at Teachers College\, Columbia University for over four decades\, as both the Co-director of the Literacy Specialist Program and as the Richard Robinson Professor of Children’s Literature. Dr. Calkins has written 50+ books\, including the widely adopted Units of Study curriculum. Dr. Calkins began her career as a teacher for elementary\, middle\, and high school students\, then joined Don Graves as a researcher on the National Institute of Education’s first major study of children as writers. That research has been credited with transforming the teaching of writing\, bringing writing workshops\, which were once the province of college classrooms\, into K-8 classrooms. For decades since then\, Dr. Calkins has devoted most of her time to leading organizations that aim to support best practices in the teaching of reading and writing. \n \nJess Mazzone started her career as a grades 2-5 teacher\, a literacy coach\, and has since co-authored the Units of Study series.
