D631: Designing Curriculum and Instruction II
A1 Curriculum Overview
The curriculum I have chosen is the Write Bright writing curriculum. This is designed for
K-6 students to use different strategies to improve their writing skills. The curriculum breaks
down the writing process and provides teachers with thorough lesson plans for each grade
according to standards. This curriculum would be used to build and strengthen writing skills
according to grade level standards, eventually building writing stamina to be able to write
essays. Prompts, lessons, and books are provided to support students in writing and learning
to be a successful writer.
A2 Stakeholders and Strategies
● Caregivers: Caregivers can be informed and provided access to the curriculum so
that students are able to view lessons or work on writing at home as well.
Caregivers will be sent updates through weekly newsletters as to what students
are working on in their writing, where they are in the process as well as what
lessons have been taught. This informs caregivers on not only their child, but also
lets them know specifically what students are doing if they fall behind or need to
take work home.
, ● School Personnel: School personnel will be informed and updated through email
as to where students are in their writing. This can include paraeducators and other
staff that are assisting students in school work so that they are aware of what
students are working on and where they can best be supported. This can also be
told verbally when discussing what students are working on as well as
expectations.
