Writing About Reading July 15, 2020

Have you started reader's notebooks with a zealous heart, only to fall off the wagon around the 6th week of school? Come join us for this ONE DAY workshop that focuses on carrying forward the work of writing about reading across the year.  Responding to text in a variety of ways is critical for readers to build flexibility in the way they think about text.  We will develop ways to help readers respond in open-ended ways across fiction texts, non-fiction texts, and across multiple texts (including media).  Strategies to develop the natural progression to longer pieces will be included in this workshop to help readers make strong claims and support their thinking with textual evidence.

ALL REGISTRATIONS MUST BE PAID PRIOR TO THE WORKSHOP.  

All workshops begin at 8:30 a.m. and conclude at 3:30 p.m.  

This workshop qualifies for Title 1 funding.  

You may want to arrive between 8:10 and 8:20 to sign in, pick up materials and find seating.  If you are expecting a large group from your school it is a good idea to come early if sitting together is important to you.  Dress comfortably and you may want to add layers...buildings can be really cold.
