Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

During a high stakes season, Pam is wondering what would be best: base her lessons on skills, genres, or themes.  Curriculum will follow one of the three to center the organization of its scope and sequence.  Standards focus on skills.  So the question remains: when teachers plan their lessons, which one should be the focus.

Jacob and Pam discuss how they use all three in their reading and writing workshops.  

Join Jacob and Pam as they discuss the three focal points for lesson design.  Maybe their discussion will help you decide how you want to approach your next set of lessons for a high stake testing season!
