WORKSHOP OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR

WRITER’S NOTEBOOKSAn excerpt from Ralph Fletcher’s Writer’s

Notebook…

“This morning I stopped to buy an iced coffee. When I got home I took out my writer's notebook, the most important tool I have. I think of my notebook as an "idea bank" or "seed farm" where I can collect ideas, or just write for fun. I opened my writer's notebook and jotted this down:

"Letters To Young Writers." Ralph Fletcher, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, and Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg (Sep. 2005)

I love an iced coffee, with milk and sugar, on a warm summer's morning. Light and sweet, that's what I tell the woman at the Dunkin' Donuts, and she knows what I mean. When I've got a cup of iced coffee in my hand, so cold beads of condensation are already gathering on the sides, and I'm getting double-jolted by the surge of caffeine plus the lift, provided by those sugar crystals crunching between my teeth, I know beyond doubt it's going to be a great summer day.”

ASSESSMENT

“Most kids experience school as a series of tasks, dittos, assignments, texts- things that are administered to them. Writing workshop turns the table and puts kids in charge. This requires us to engage in responsive teaching.”
