My Exit Tickets Across the Curriculum Presentation Materials
created by Corbett Harrison, Writing Teacher and Trainer
Price: $8.00
Back in 2008, many schools I work with began asking for a specific training that would help an entire staff find a way to buy-in better to the idea of writing across the curriculum. I designed a 120-minute workshop that addressed this request, centered around Exit Tickets. Exit Tickets are a technique that I have been using for years, and they involve a simple process: at the beginning of a lesson, students are introduced to an inquiry question that they will be expected to answer at lesson's end; the lesson is taught; the students write a thoughtful paragraph--or Exit Ticket--as they leave class; teachers then use the collected Exit Tickets as a quick formative assessment to gauge the need to re-teach a concept or to move on to the next one. It's a simple but effective use of writing, no matter what content is being taught to students.
I helped the schools I work with see the value of--what I came to call--Exit Tickets Across the Curriculum. I predicted that if every teacher in a middle or high school required just one Exit Ticket per week from every student, and if they taught their students to write better and better Exit Tickets over time, the amount of quality writing students would be doing would increase substantially. I predicted students would become better writers and--more importantly--better thinkers, because when you have to write about what you have learned, you are automatically thinking with a deeper piece of your brain. My predictions have proved correct. The schools I work with are seeing a huge difference in better writing...and thinking.
I have now presented my Exit Ticket workshop over thirty times well-over a thousand teachers, and I feel confident that it is one of the best set of materials I have ever created on writing across the curriculum. My workshop focuses on three topics: 1) crafting high-quality Exit Ticket questions; 2) choosing a format for Exit Tickets (I present four options) that works for different classrooms; 3) assessing Exit Tickets and responding to the data.
I now offer for sale--to teachers administrators, or professional developers--my 22-page packet of materials and the 20-slide PowerPoint show that I use during my workshop on this topic. Purchase of these materials allows you to use them in your own classroom or present them to groups of teachers you are working with.

My 6-Trait Post-It Note Templates: 30 pages of variations
created by Corbett Harrison, Writing Teacher and Trainer
Price: $10.00
In 2005, I worked with the Northern Nevada Writing Project to help create the Going Deep with 6 Trait Language Guide , which is an excellent 194-page resource that every teacher should own. I shared with them my original six 6-Trait Post-Its, which are not only found in the guide but can also be accessed freely on-line at: http://writingfix.com/classroom_tools/post_its.htm
During my trait and lesson building workshops for teachers, I give away 24 additional versions of these Post-Its that I have created since the workbook's 2005 publication. Combined with the six original Post-Its, this has become a 30-page document. Different ways to rank each trait's sub-skills and different purposes of writing inspired the new versions, which are always popular with the teachers I do workshops for.
I am offering to e-mail this thirty page document to any teacher who wants it (but can't attend one of my workshops) for just $10.00.

- 30 pages of Post-It variations (an editable Microsoft Word file)

My 504 Daily Writing Prompts
created by Corbett Harrison, Writing Teacher and Trainer
Price: $5.04
The very first page I built for the WritingFix website was its collection of Random Daily Writing Prompts for Writers. It remains one of the most popular pages at the WritingFix website; in fact, in 2007, that single page was accessed over half a million times from computers around the globe.
In Northern Nevada, where many teachers use journal writing in their classrooms, I distribute a thirty-page document at all my Writer's Workshop Trainings. This document features my favorite of the 504 writing prompts you can access at WritingFix all in one self-contained document.
If you're in Northern Nevada and want information on my next Writer's Workshop Training, please e-mail me at charrison@washoe.k12.nv.us.
If you're not in Northern Nevada but would like your own copy of these 504 writing prompts, I am offering the document for sale for $5.04.
