It will evolve over time to reflect what you love, what makes you happy and comfortable— and ready to write" (Spandel, 2013).

"Because the focus is on the writers in a writing workshop, the environment of the workshop is often filled with so many more possibilities than is a room where students do the writing process" (Ray). ]]> 2017-11-28 21:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/211192150 taylorscutti21 https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/211193404 "To gain experience in writing across a school year, it's best if students can work on their writing for a sustained block of time (at least 35 to 45 minutes) everyday in the writing workshop" (Ray). 

"Writers need to talk about their writing, and the thing that seems to make or break many writing workshops is the presence (or absence) of productive talk" (Ray)

The writing workshop also provides a set routine which is essential for ELL students, as it helps them know exactly what is expected of them and does not change as time goes on.]]> 2017-12-05 15:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/213350738 https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/213355338 Through the writing workshop, you can create unique lessons to focus on specific skills and even topics of interest of the ELL student. Deciding on these areas of need comes with getting to know the student well, and determining how much the student knows in their first language.]]> 2017-12-05 15:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/213355338 https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/213358082 A simple way to support ELL students during the writing workshop is to create an anchor chart. This should be available for students to view while they are independently working. The chart should highlight the main ideas from the mini lesson, as well as provide step-by-step instructions. The chart should be image heavy and contain as little text as possible. This makes it very easy for ELL students to understand.

By speaking slowly and using the same terminology, ELL's are less likely to get confused. Explaining and elaborating the idea behind a mini lesson also helps the ELL student to fully understand the strategy being taught.

This helps to reduces anxiety and focus on specific needs. It can also easily be done throughout the writing workshop.

“ELLs benefit from these smaller settings where the teacher/student ratio is lowered. When ELLs need time to process their thinking, possibly translate language, and build courage to answer, a smaller setting provides comfort. The anxiety level is lowered and students feel safe to respond and collaborate" (Huynh). ]]> 2017-12-05 16:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/213377264 https://padlet.com/tc843001/beiu22f5g8zc/wish/213381026 Support ELL student's by helping them create realistic goals, and provide student writing samples for them to look at. These samples let the ELL's actually see their goals.
