Writer's Workshop

Today I was interrupted during our mini lesson to a student begging to "just write." I am thrilled we have been enjoying our process of writing. The current piece started off on making a strong beginning paragraph. Which we then worked on making a strong middle of a story. We have yet to get to the end, because these students have been so interested in letting their imaginations run free. We have some mysteries, drama and historical fiction writing pieces. Throughout this process the students periodically conference with me and go back to writing. Today we conferenced with a buddy and learned so much more about how we write. We noticed editing, discussion, and new, fresh ideas.
