This is the second part of a mini-series on teaching writing workshop.

Teaching writing in middle school is a daunting task.  You have to plan units, teach them, conference with kids, grade them...all while teaching to multiple levels.  While some kids like writing, most do not.  You can make positive changes by implementing a workshop model for writing in your middle school classes.  In this episode, we will talk about creating writing units for your writing workshop.

We will discuss:

  • Choosing a Benchmark Piece
  • Creating Your Partnerships
  • Selecting a Mentor Text
  • Choosing Skills to be Taught

Let's connect!
