Two weeks from today and my school will be back in session. I am ready. I’m craving the sense of security that comes with routine. Now is a good time to consider some of the essential routines that make writing workshop successful. It is important to establish routines from day one. Do you know your plans for the following routines?
- What are the expectations while students are in the meeting area for the minilesson?
- How will students leave the meeting area and begin independent work time?
- How will you keep track of conferences?
- How will you signal for independent work time to come to an end?
- How will you track share sessions?
- How will students get the supplies they need?
- What do you expect out of writer’s notebooks?
