Why Writing Workshop? By the Partnership for Inquiry Learning
You may be wondering why we are using writing workshop for or writing instruction model. This week's topic about writing workshops from an article by the Partnership of Inquiry Learning may help answer some of your questions.
"Writing workshop increases confidence in writing ability"
Students develop a sense of craft in writing workshop. They read like writers to see what strategies other authors employ to effectively convey meaning and emotion, shape and organize material, make texts lively and compelling. As thoughtful, deliberate researchers, students then apply this knowledge across texts, genres and subject matter. Because
workshop teaching focuses on improving each writer’s breadth and depth of understanding of craft, students acquire the tools necessary to improve not only the project in hand but also future writing endeavors.

We Are Learning...
Reading
Writing
This week in writing we focused on writing all about the author. As a class we decided that an all about the author page is a very important piece to add into our writing. It lets the reader know a little more about who write the book. After adding detail to our all about the author we continued to work on our nonfiction books. We are getting ready for our nonfiction book presentation and are making sure we have a great topic in mind to write about.
