This 3rd grade writer has been working on developing stamina in order to create full pieces of writing. He has also been practicing a new editing routine of circling words when he is unsure of their spelling. This will keep him writing longer instead of spending all of writer's workshop thumbing through his spelling dictionary. It will also help him to write more conventionally by providing him a method for identifying spelling concerns.
Notice that the teacher's comments to this writer celebrate his use of the new editing routine and also encourage him to keep going. Early drafts need comments about what is working and what the writer is doing right.
