By Kristina Smekens and Linda Schmidt Starting your writer's workshop can be an awkward and anxious experience. Many teachers confess that they struggle to get it off the ground. What should I do the first weeks of school? What are key lessons to jumpstart my writer's workshop? How fast or slow should I move? These are valid questions. And, it's easy to see why so many teachers are eager for some beginning-of-the-year lesson suggestions. This resource targets the heart of what every teacher wants for the initial weeks of school: 1. Strategies to establish the writer's workshop environment through routines, procedures and expectations. 2. Methods to define the ingredients of "good writing" so everyone is using a common language. 3. Foundation-building mini-lesson ideas that teach student's how to craft stronger writing. Each lesson includes:
- A purpose and rationale for the lesson.
- A list of resources and teacher preparation required before delivering the lesson
- A detailed description of the lesson execution
- Suggestions for utilizing writing samples or mentor text to support the lesson
- Follow-up activities that relate to the initial lesson
- A CD of student writing samples and Blackline Masters that support each lesson
