CONTINUOUSLY ADD TO YOUR WRITER’S NOTEBOOK. BE 100% ATTENTIVE DURING THE FOCUS LESSON. BE PREPARED TO REVISE YOUR WORK REPEATEDLY. FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES WHEN GIVING FEEDBACK. ASK QUESTIONS AND GIVE SUGGESTIONS INSTEAD OF GIVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. DURING INDEPENDENT WRITING TIME, FOCUS ON BRAINSTORMING, PLANNING, RESEARCHING, DRAFTING, CONFERRING, REVISING, AND EDITING.

TIPS FOR WORKSHOPPING LEAVE THE WRITER WITH ENTHUSIASM FOR WRITING! FOCUS ON IDEAS, ORGANIZATION, VOICE, WORD CHOICE, FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE, AND SENTENCE VARIETY. DO NOT FOCUS ON SPELLING, GRAMMAR, ETC. QUESTIONS TO THINK ABOUT: WHAT DID I LIKE BEST ABOUT THIS PAPER? WHAT WOULD I LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT? WHAT STANDS OUT? WHAT IS CONFUSING? WHEN ASKING QUESTIONS OR GIVING SUGGESTIONS FOR A POEM, CONSIDER: DOES POEM TELL A STORY WITH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? DOES THE PLOT FLOW, AND IS THE CONFLICT RESOLVED? IS THE THEME OF THE POEM CLEAR?
