Reminded of the promises that we make to our students everyday at QAW.

We believe in the spirit of inquiry. Identifying the interplay between asking, thinking and doing. 

Workshop needs to be adapted, not adopted. :-) 

The importance of Read Aloud with Accountable Talk. (Even during a time when we don’t have a lot of time) 

The workshop vision: readers and writers who read and write well, readers and writers who love to read and write. 

Examining my feedback. Always give ongoing feedback, a “forever stance” in our feedback. 

Wants: 

How do I balance all the literacy components in one week? 

I like the presentation of the “Architecture of a Minilesson” where we get to see how it actually looks like in action. As a teacher, I am all for authenticity and relevance. I would like to see how something works and see how I can fit that in what I am doing right now. The break-down of the “Architecture of a Minilesson” really helps me visualize and understand, how I can use this effectively.

Since, I am all for practicality and authenticity, I would like to ask for some help as to how this can be used in what we are already doing right now, not just during our guided reading time, but for other aspects of our day with our students.
