Writing Workshop

"A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit."  Richard Bach

                                    About Writing Workshop:

In a 10-15 minute mini-lesson, students will learn a writing skill or strategy through teacher modeling and guided practice.

Students will have approx. 30 minutes for independent writing time.  During this time, they will practice the strategies taught throughout the unit to create a piece of writing.  The teacher will be moving around the room conferring with students and reinforcing various writing skills.

At the end of independent writing time, the students will meet as a class, or with their writing partners for a 5-10 minute share (possible share topics- where they used a certain strategy in their piece of writing, read a favorite part, something that worked well for them, or that they struggled with).
