This document outlines the first few weeks of a writing workshop to introduce students to the writing process and transition to the FOCUS on 5 writing strategy. It includes activities like "Writing is Communication" to establish purpose, brain books for prewriting, and using playdough to demonstrate the writing process steps. Students will later become experts in the FOCUS strategies and add their own examples to strategy cards to teach peers. The goal is to get students started with individual writing goals using FOCUS on 5.
