Ch#2 Writing workshop reading reflection

We can help children to become interested in and feel responsible for their writing to have time in daily schedule for writing workshop, and children could be provided many opportunities to use writing process in writing workshop.

“No matter which way teachers use writing workshop, its great benefit is that children become familiar with the ebb and flow of the writing process and experience the exhilaration that all authors feel as they publish their writing and share it with readers.”(Tompkins, p,34)

"Writing Workshop is an interactive approach to teaching writing as students learn and practice the importance of rehearsal, drafting/revising, and editing their pieces of writing" (Calkins, 1986; Graves, 1983).
