Abstract: The purpose of this article is to explain how the authors' district implemented micro-writing in curriculum and instruction. The foundation of micro-writing comes from research and publications by Rief, specifically the "QuickWrite Handbook," and Gallagher and Kittle's "180 Days." The article begins by defining and describing the term micro-writing. The authors then discuss the implementation of micro-writing while also giving practical and actionable suggestions for its use in the classroom and in the curriculum. Finally, the article provides important takeaways and observations from the implementation of micro-writing. One of the many outcomes of implementing micro-writing was that it led to better student work because it gave them choice and voice in a non-threatening way.
