Reading
What is Reader's Workshop?
* Mini-lesson (5 - 10 minutes)
A short lesson focused on on some aspect of literature or a reading strategy.
* Independent Reading Time(10 - 15 minutes or more!).
The students READ! Each student will try out the mini-lesson in his or her reading. This is where students keep a journal, use the binder, and respond to the literature in terms of what they think or how they feel about what they are reading. I will conference with individual students or small groups.
* Share (5 minutes)
Readers read what strategy they used and share with a partner and/or whole class as they seek feedback.
