She discussed surveying students before starting partnerships, carefully selecting partners, ways to monitor partnerships, and moving partnerships into small groups. She shared many great starters for partners to use when discussing writers such as "I like this part because..." and "I wish I could've known more about...". I think you'll see much more of this in her book coming in November published by Stenhouse.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-8121441639177043702013-09-29T18:55:15.622-04:002013-09-29T18:55:15.622-04:00Melissa,

It validates so much of what I believe writing workshop is all about. I love the idea of putting students first work and best piece on the wall...how POWERFUL.
