Many schools are using Lucy Calkins’ materials and Units of Study. One of her units includes an essay unit. Jim Trelease has a site that includes a weekly essay. It is awesome! http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/essay-of-week.html
I am always looking for resources. This is another site of wonderful resources for us.
