Writer's Workshop

This week, we were working very hard in Writer's Workshop.  These writers are learning to stretch their stories over more than one page and are all beginning to write in booklets.  One of the best parts of our Writer's Workshop each day is our sharing.  We share our writing in a variety of ways, and this week we had many of our students share using the document camera.  This gives students the opportunity to speak in front of their peers and "teach" them something they learned or tried in their own stories.  When a student is finished sharing, they ask tell the group that they are ready for questions and comments.  At that time, students from the group ask questions or make comments about the student's work.  Here are some photos of Writer's Workshop this week.
