Do you want to inspire your learners in writer's workshop?
Give them a pen!
At the beginning of the school year the students meet Ramon, a character in Peter Reynolds's book Ish. That begins our building of classroom community You do not have to be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes.
In our classroom we do things Ishfully!
I have been watching my learners during workshop and even though we know it is okay to mess up, some of them are still ERASING!
Thankfully I decided to give them a new tool ... A Pen! Now as they continue to share their voice their words are authentic and absolutely wonderful.
