Title: Writer


1
Writers Workshop
  • The bare essentials

2
What it is
  • Writers Workshop is a framework of lessons that
    allow students to write daily.
  • The goal is to move students from a focus lesson
    to independent writing.

3
The power of WW
  • more opportunities are given to write
  • the teacher led instruction comes from what was
    observed in the student work
  • differentiation is naturally built in the
    teacher can work individually with a student, or
    with a small group
  • students share and talk about their work
  • Students see themselves as writers

4
Teach/Model Mini-lesson (5-15 min)
  • Teacher connects lesson to prior student work
  • Teacher models lesson focus or topic
  • Students practice for a short time (minute or 2)
  • Teacher can scaffold work to show student samples
  • Teacher clarifies/summarizes what was taught.

5
Practice/confer (30-50 minutes)
  • Students write, using teaching point from
    mini-lesson
  • Teachers walk room and confer, either
    highlighting successful students, or conferring
    individually and in small groups with those
    needed guidance.

6
Workshop mid point(5-10 minutes)
  • After monitoring, regather students to teaching
    point
  • Purpose is to refocus and re-engage student
    writers

7
Share time(5-15 minutes)
  • Always end with sharing. This gives insight into
    the lesson and students learn how to respond to
    peer text.

8
A KEY POINT Dont just write in LA!

    difference is in the GOAL of the lesson.
