Nixerest - Writer's Workshop Field Trips Week Three

Sharing Time

Students love when teachers, "Make writers famous," during sharing time.

When a student is finished sharing their piece of writing, the other students give them 3 stars and 1 wish, and then they get to pick a class cheer to celebrate. 

 

Save time during sharing by having 2 authors' chairs.  When the first student is done sharing, the second student is ready to start without a bunch of movement.

Another way for authors to get feedback from the class is to have a reminder to audience members about what they are listening for:  Praise (something the author did well), Ponder (something you have a question about), or Polish (something to work on).

 Prompt Writing and Conferring

  

 

 

Third graders are preparing for the writing portion of the MAP.  They are writing to a prompt, conferring with their teacher about their prompt writing, and earning blue ribbons for a job well done.
