- pt.1. Launching the writing workshop. What's the story in this picture? -- Where is your writing? -- Let me show you how to write more. -- pt.2. Small moments: Personal narrative writing. Will you touch each page and say what you'll write? -- Let me help you put some words down. -- As a reader, I'd love to hear more about that. -- pt.3. Writing for readers: Teaching skills and strategies. Say and record a word, then reread. -- If you erase that word and scoot it over, it will be easier to read. -- Famous writers use periods to tell readers when to stop. -- pt.4 The craft of revision. This part is confusing to me. -- Can you reenact that part in a way that shows me how you felt? -- Study an example to get ideas for revision. -- pt.5. Authors as mentors. You can use ellipses to show waiting. -- Use a refrain. -- What else could you try that Mem Fox does? -- pt.6. Nonfiction writing: Procedures and reports. Make a mental movie of yourself following your directions in order to test them for clarity. -- What will you write in your table of contents? -- If there's no punctuation, when I read your report it sounds like gobbledygook. -- pt.7. Poetry: Powerful thoughts in tiny packages. Can you think of one moment that holds the big feeling the ocean gives you? -- Are those the sounds you hear? -- Can you help me see what you saw?
