​
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.
