Writing Workshop
"This model supports writers utilizing modeling, guided practice,
and independent practice. Teachers use minilessons to explicitly demonstrate and
teach the organization, strategies, skills and craft of writing. Teachers provide blocks
of time for students to practice the concepts during independent writing. Teachers
confer with students/small groups during this time providing them with differentiated
instruction. Students are given the opportunity to share their writing at the closing of
writing workshop." - PPS Writing Framework
