Why Writer's Workshop?
Students are encouraged and allowed to write freely about a topic of their choice, and will not be corrected on their spelling or sentence structure.
The focus of this writing process is for them to construct an overall idea, and teaching them about the craft of writing.
Through this process of continuous free-writing, the students will start to learn about spelling and the conventions of writing in a self-discovery manner. The teacher in the Writer’s Workshop is a facilitator who asks questions to help students build upon their own ideas.
