Reading+&+Writing+Workshop

This wiki page, Defining Reading & Writing Workshop, features our ideas about reading and writing workshop -- what we know in general, what the literature says, what we're seeing in the field, and what we've experienced ourselves as students.

This wiki page, Our Ideal ELA Classrooms, features links to our designs for effective classroom spaces for teaching ELA well, informed by our reading of various texts.

Interestingly, while the workshop approach has long been recognized as a feature of the middle grades English language arts classroom, this August, 2009 //New York Times// article, [|"A New Assignment: Pick Books You Like"] highlights the workshop strategy as a new approach.
