Establish a carefully crafted, high quality writing workshop.An effective writing workshop is carefully structured to support writers through the writing process, while enabling teachers to observe and assess common and individual needs in order to make instructional decisions about teaching writing.
Essentials of the Writing Workshop explores the principles of a quality writing workshop—time, mini-lessons, choice, structure, conference, and response—and offers smart advice and strategies for assessing student writing, linking writing and literature, responding to students' drafts, and more.
Fletcher and Portalupi's Essentials of the Writing Workshop takes teachers through the entire workshop, sharpening the teaching skills they need to run it well, and honing their sensitivity to students' needs.
