Sharing/Closing

Sharing:

To close the writing workshop, students gather as a writing community. This social opportunity provides students a chance to express themselves and learn from their peers, while also providing a sense of closure. Teachers often use this as a time to set the stage for future lessons or celebrate the accomplishments that day.
