This session provides an overview of the four step writing workshop model and its main difference from other approaches: tapping into a student’s authentic voice by writing about their own lives. With the goal of creating lifelong writers, this session covers the why and how of the writing workshop method and how to structure the writing process in a consistent and productive way for students. Teachers will collaborate to create mini-lessons and whole units of study.
Session A – Learn and understand the writer’s workshop model
Session B - Apply the writer’s workshop method to developing lessons and units of study
