Lucy Calkins, author of The Art of Teaching Reading and The Art of Teaching writing, has developed a set of units of study for reading and writing in the primary and upper elementary grades. Despite the fact that the upper elementary units are geared more towards grade 3-5, these units of study for writing could be used without alteration in the middle school grades and, with some modification, even in high school. These units explore genres and processes of writing effectively, and offer students and teacher an opportunity to develop as writers and readers.

This site provides lesson plan ideas, professional development, etc. []
