2 What were they thinking? Who knows? Take a moment to collaborate and craft a crazy caption for these funky photos. Okay, I’ve rolled over and played dead. What I won’t do for my catnip fix! Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

3 A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream. Gaston Bachelard Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

4 Teachers will: share reflections regarding the significance of providing “multiple pathways” for developing writers and discuss the instructional implications discuss the role of read alouds in a writing workshop classroom evaluate the importance of teaching students to “read like a writer” examine the features of a genre study analyze the craft that distinguishes an author’s work select a topic from their writing notebook and develop the topic into a draft Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

5 Gather with your reading response team and discuss the “One Thing” you will treasure from KWR’s chapter, “Letting Authors Co-Teach the Curriculum of Process” and the author whose advice you read in a RF book: –Paul Fleischman on Notebooks –Louise Borden on Notebooks –Carolyn Coman on Characters –Han Nolan on Voice –Gordon Korman on Brainstorming –Drew Lamm on Writing Process –Ben Mikaelson on Writing Process Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

6 Authors are important co- teachers of writing inside our classrooms. Let’s take a peek at two different ways that teachers use authors to mentor students’ writing through whole-group mini- lessons and individual student conferences. Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

7 Share your intriguing internet tidbits, newspaper snippets, or pithy magazine morsels. Discuss the connections (self, text, world) that you made. As you examine one another’s trash, consider the writing curriculum that can be dredged from the process. Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

8 You decide. Who found the most interesting trash in the literary world wide web? At break, display your “trash” in The Dump. By the end of the day, add a colored dot to show which trash you found most scintillating. Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

10 The National Council of Teachers of English features some excellent online staff development resources. In April, Katie Wood Ray was featured in a 1 hour webinar entitled, “Where Are We Now? Ten Years Down the Road from Wondrous Words: Retrospective on Craft Study in the Writing Workshop.” Let’s find out how Katie’s thoughts about writing have evolved. Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

11 ✍ Read Aloud – Such an Important Teaching Tool ✍ Importance of Genre Taking the Lead in Craft Study ✍ Importance of Immediacy in reading like a writer ✍ Implications of understanding that craft crosses genre ✍ Importance of co-teachers in the teaching of writing Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

13 Once asked to write a full story in six words, legend has it that novelist Ernest Hemingway responded: "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.” In this spirit of simple yet profound brevity, the online magazine Smith asked readers to write the story of their own lives in a single, six-word sentence. Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

14 I was born some assembly required. Wolf! She cried. No one listened. Still lost on road less traveled. Verbal hemophilia. Why can’t I clot? Timid teacher takes ‘tude from tykes. I colored outside of the lines. I forgot I have memory loss. Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.

15 Can’t read all the time. Bummer! We were our own Springer episode. The freaks, they always find me. When talk matters, make it count. I came, I saw, I concurred. Learning disability. MIT. Never give up. It’s all about me, isn’t it? Julie Anderson & Charmion Mohning, Cy-Fair I.S.D.
