When Writers Drive the Workshop: Honoring Young Voices and Bold Choices

Taking readers to actual working classrooms, Kissel describes what happens when empowered writers direct the pre-K-5 writer’s workshop. He tells their powerful and authentic stories that can only come about when children are doing the important work of revealing their lives on the page. He covers conferring: writers take the wheel, the author’s chair: writers navigate the response, reflection: writers ponder the journey, mini-lessons: writers determine the detours, and conditions: teachers create smooth writing experiences.
