We Must Model Our Own Writing!

Teachers of writing who have been soldiersthemselves, engaged in a writing battle, must beable to empathize more closely with thecomrades in their classroom than teachers whoare merely war correspondents at the hotel bar,

as it were, watching the battle from a safedistance, declining to get in there themselvesand write. (p. 11-Radical Reflections by Mem

Teamwork- Ill send this in an email...

1. Please complete the quick poll on my blog What is the hardest switch to make when moving to theworkshop approach?

2. Teams need to discuss and begin to make changes to Unit 1. These changes can include pacing (modify

the calendar), assessment targets, culling and copying student samples from your grade to use in placeof the NYC samples, anchor texts, etc. One copy of these changes need to be give to each GL writingteam rep to bring to our next WT meeting... (if possible!)

3. Together, please brainstorm 3-5 training ideas for me to work on with TAs in the area of writingworkshop.
