Middle School Writers Reflect on What They Know about Writing

Wealth of Good Ideas

This link will take you to series of 30 minutes videos detailing some of the most important big ideas in effective reading and writing teaching.
I especially recommend video 4. It explains and shows what we are all trying to implement in our writer's workshops.
Watch all of video 4 or watch just one of the nine segments and discuss it with your team or staff.

5th grade teacher, Billy Nee and writing coach, Katharine Johnson, discuss the writing demonstration lesson experience.

Listen to teaching and writing guru, Linda Christensen, remind us why we do the work we do: for joy and for justice.
