Here’s a great explanation of all aspects of Writer’s Workshop. Activities from ’Mini-lessons’ to ’Sharing’ (and all steps in-between) leading up to the crucial role of sharing student writing in group reading sessions are each discussed on this web page. Be sure to click "5 Editing Strategies That Actually Work For Student Writers." Once students understand how to edit someone elses work, their writing improves. This is a wealth of usable information for a teacher new to Writer’s Workshop.
In the Classroom
Include this site with your other resources for practicing and teaching writing as you challenge students to improve feedback scores. Ask students to analyze their writing before getting the feedback from their peers as a self-reflection tool. As students improve writing, use a digital portfolio tool like Seesaw, <a href="/single.cfm?id=16443">reviewed here</a>, and upload all revisions. Also, use Seesaw for students to share their thoughts on their writing and individual progress.
