Sharing/Closing

Sharing/closing:

Sharing at the end of the workshop provides a special time which allows students to build community as they share their thoughts. It also gives an opportunity for readers to internalize and reflect on their reading process. The lesson closing allows students to synthesize and open a window into tomorrow’s lesson.

A closing and sharing session can take place in partnerships, book clubs, or in a whole group session. Share time at the end of each Reading Workshop gives children the opportunity to share their ideas, what they have learned, or how they have applied a new skill or strategy with the learning community, and brings the workshop full circle.
