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.
