After reading chapter 7 I have began to look at the different levels of writing development differently. Over time children's writing all progresses at different rates. I wanted to know, what was the best way to teach writing development? Would it be useful for students at different levels? Would this help students creativity in their writing? I enjoyed looking into all the different ways to help children progress in their writing development, but writing workshops really stuck out to me personally.
In looking over several different styles and structures of workshops I found this to be a very effective method. One of my favorite workshops I read about (follow lower elementary link to view) talks about the creativity and inspiration that comes from children's writing development. Writing workshops can be easily adapted to different levels from upper or lower elementary as well as for students at different levels. Writing isn't something that develops overnight, but takes years of continuous development. This is something you should keep in mind when teaching students, not to mark things wrong because they made an error, but to encourage their development and work with them to improve with time.
