Writing Workshop

"The faster I write the better my output.  If I'm going slow I'm in trouble.  It means I'm pushing the words instead of being pulled by them." 

                                                                                                                                           --Raymond Chandler   

One of the reasons writer's workshop has such tremendous potential to be a powerful tool in your classroom is it allows children the opportunity to bring their lives into the classroom and to put their stories in print.  They are given a meaningful avenue to share themselves with their classmates and teacher,  and we know that whenever emotion is attached to learning the power of that teachable moment is greatly magnified!
