    Great resource for all grade levels and subject areas. Includes links to audio and video.

    This provides some great mini lessons or add-ons to lessons that would be great before or after a Write to Learn strategy.

    Provides Write-to-Learn activities from the Writing Across the Curriculum's Resource Binder. Its topics include: Free Writing and Focused Free Writing, Entry Slips/Exit Slips, Reader-Response Writing, The Sentence/Passage Springboard, Writing Definitions to Empower the Student, Student-Formulated Questions, The Short Summary, Group Writing Activities, Dialectical/Double Entry Notebooks, Microthemes, Answer the Question!, Clarification/Review Letters The section on Questions challenges students/teachers to write questions that "explore" rather than provide quick responses. The Sentence/Passage Springboard shows an example of a sentence from a literary text that is difficult to understand, and different people adding their interpretation of that passage as well as commenting on the previous person's interpretation.

    This website gives many examples of write to learn strategies.

    The main page has some basic information about W2L, similar to what we have been discussing, but at the end there are some suggested activities that look good. 
  •  
    This website provides an overview of some of the information from out text. It might be a great way to share some of the W2L strategies with colleagues without the book.

    This site is almost like a quick one-page reference tool for teachers who are looking to refresh some of the basic W2L strategies...the admit/exit slips are mentioned, among others. I would use this site if I needed a quick refresher of a strategy I needed or wanted to implement for a particular lesson.
  •  
    I would agree with Holly's comments. This site would be a good one to pass along to content area teachers that are looking for some strategies to work with formative, writing pieces they do with their students.
  •  
    Includes Muddiest Question (one most confusing), One Minute Papers (another name for exit/admit slips) and a nice list of tips at the bottom.

    I frequently visit this website for different lesson plan ideas. Rarely do I use them as they are- I usually tweek a bit for my students, but nonetheless, this is a fabulous website to help you get a jump start!
