Each lesson has a share component. Modify based on students’ needs. The following are other share options.

Some Possibilities for Purposeful Use of the Share Time

Name Purpose Method

Follow-Up on Mini-Lesson

To reinforce and/or clarify the teaching point

Share an exemplar model (student or teacher)

Share a student who had difficulty and the way in which he/she solved the problem

Share the story of a conference from the independent work time

Provide another opportunity for active engagement

Provide a prompt to initiate student conversation, “Turn and tell your partner…”

Problem Solving To build community and solve a problem

Review To recall previous strategies /prior learning

To build repertoire of strategies

To contextualize learning

Pose a “review” question to the class: “Today we learned one revision strategy. What other revision strategies do you use?” These strategies may be listed on a chart.

Looking Ahead to Tomorrow

Introduce a new teaching point – set-up for the next mini-lesson

Celebratory Celebration of learning

Boost student morale

Promote membership in the “literacy club”

Share the work of 2-3 students

Provide an opportunity for a whole class share: “You are all such amazing writers - you wrote so much today! Writers, hold up your open notebooks so that we can see all of the great work you have done.”

Reflection for Launching With Small Moments

Name _________________________________________Date __________________________ We have now been in school for about a month. We have learned so much about ourselves as writers, about one another, and about writing workshop. What is your favorite thing about writing workshop? What do you do well in writing? What is hard for you about writing? How are you going to be a problem solver instead of a problem keeper of this challenge?
