I found the daily topic on the above website. I thought it would be so great to have students choose one writing prompt per week to respond to and then either post on the classroom blog or email to their teacher. The best part is that it is a free service and the topics are always new and exciting!

Did you know you could have six random prompts e-mailed to you weekly from this prompt generator? All you have to do is join the Yahoo Group called "The Daily Topic." Click here to sign up for this free service.
Also on the writing fix website are lesson plans, journal prompts, writing traits, writing process, writing genres, writing tools for the classroom, and writing across the curriculum. Each of those topics have numerous sub-topics to assist in teaching writing.
http://writingfix.com/process_workshop.htm Tools for a Writing Classroom: The Writing Process & Writers Workshop ideas for managing and maintaining a workshop environment in your classroom. I found this site to be chalk full of writing resources.
"Writing Workshop:one teacher's approach" is an incredibly comprehensive explanation of one teachers approach to setting up an effective writing workshop for her students.

I loved the writingfix website. I already signed up. I am not sure if you'd be interested in it. It's time4teachers.com. It has a ton of great resources that you can use in language arts and writing. There are many different pages on strategies and minilessons. Also on eduplace.com, the houghton mifflin site, you can get great graphic organizers and writing supplements. You do not have to use the curiculum to access the site. I also like busyteachers.cafe. I got great ideas for literacy centers and use many of them in my classroom.
