Writers' Workshop Organization
Submit a detailed description outlining the organization of your Writers' Workshop. You must include:
- a description of the area used for mini-lesson
- the exact words you will use to direct students to come to meeting area - remember, you are to say this ONLY once and then be completely silent - this sets the expectation that they need to listen (don't worry that some students may need directions repeated; if at some point you see a specific student needs more direction, develop a strategy to help that specific student such as assigning a partner to ask or directing him/her to stop and watch)
- the strategy students will use to get to the meeting area
- where/how to sit in meeting area
- the strategy students will use to exit the meeting area and return to their individual writing area
