Writer's Workshop
Step 1: Go through your Writer’s Notebook and work out what writing piece you are working on. If you are not working on one currently, you will need to either start a new seed or find a seed and decide on a new writing piece to start.
Step 2: Continue writing at the stage you are at. If you have chosen a new seed, you will need to start planning a writing piece using the correct planning template like we discussed in class. Eg: If you decide to do a narrative you will need to plan your writing using a story graph template.
Step 3: Make sure you follow the Writers Workshop model: Seed - plan - draft - self edit - conference - publish. If you don’t have an opportunity to conference during your small group google meets with your teacher, or you cannot get a parent to go through your writing with you, you may move to the publishing stage, as long as you have edited carefully.
Step 4: Once a writing piece is published, go back to your Writer’s Notebook and start the process again. Remember you can always use the same seed, and use a different text type.
*Remember when publishing to be creative as possible. Try to publish in different ways and experiment with different programs.
