I want to figure out how to use our current writing curriculum (Lucy Calkins') to help them make their writing clearer while still supporting the development of their understanding of language conventions. I want to understand when they understand the craft moves they are trying out and when they are just cobbling together the ideas they see me model. My data source will be their drafted writing. I'm not sure if there's a certain part of the writing process that I want to focus on (there's heavy focus on revising in Calkins...).
