Independent Writing Time
- Establish rules/routines
- Have a plan as a writer~ write what they have always dreamed of
- Think of questions instead of topics
- Provide inspiration each day
- Help them understand the range of possibilities (genres, themes, student choice, etc
The Nature of Workshop Curriculum
- "They grow more when teaching supports their work, we need to think carefully about the kinds of things we will be teaching them."
- Strategy Teaching
- Technique Lessons
- "If anyone tries this, let me know"
- Conventions (grammar, punctuations)
Focus Lessons: Whole Class Teaching
- Teacher shares own learning as a writer
- Clear objective~ show and tell
- Don't expect mastery
- "Plant a new possibility in the room"
- Okay for teachers to do all the talking for these 5-10 minutes (draw them in by talking about them and their writing)
- No guided practice needed
