"Sharing" Writer's Workshop

One of the most important aspects of Writer's Workshop is the "sharing". The stories are flowing in Room 12 and we love to share. In our classroom we have a technology cart that includes a document camera where the children can place their writing to be shared with all. It gives the teacher a chance to check for understanding of the mini lesson that was taught and allows the students to see how their friends are writing and encourages improvements. Students give compliments to the writer and noticings of not only the story elements, but the conventions of the story. A great way for students to share and use the cutting edge techology that we are so fortunate to have in our classroom. Pictures to come!
