About the event
The workshop will:
- unpack how to write a bite-sized and specific lesson aim, based on the qualities of great writing
- work through a mini-lesson, incorporating modeled, guided and independent practice
- allow collaboration with a writing partner
- use the language of the workshop to cultivate a sense of community
- use mentor texts and writer’s notebooks, valuable teaching tools
- illustrate how visual anchors can support students to work independently through the writing process
- combine conferencing and interim writing assessments to create a comprehensive assessment portfolio
- provide opportunity to experience the power of sharing your writing with an audience
There will be time to reflect on our learning from the workshop, considering individual contexts and the needs of the students within them. With an implementation plan in hand, you will head back to school ready to nurture a new community of writers with your class.
