[LIT] Atwell's Lessons that Change Writers & Naming the World

[Tara Smith]

Wow..lucky you! I teach 6th. grade reading and writing workshop as well, and have used "Lessons.." as well as the poetry resource she published a few years ago. I use the approach Nancie did with reading journals (I.e. twice weekly letters) and wondered how she had changed this - as she writes that she has in "The Reading Zone". I would love to hear how writing workshop was implemented, and what you learned from observing at her school.  How was time managed, and how were the writing conferences run/timed?

  I just got back from interning with Nancie at her school in Maine.  My teaching partner and I have been using her "Lessons...." for a few years.  I will be glad to discuss it with you.  We teach 6th grade.

  Is anyone else using Nancie Atwell's approach?  I am very excited about these two resources and plan to incorporate them into my LA classes this year.  Would love to talk with others who are modeling their workshop after Atwells..
