1. Writer’s Workshop Launching – Day 8 (1.18)
Teaching Point: Writers form response groups to share their poems and determine if they convey the message they are trying to get across.
Active Engagement:
-We will be conducting a peer response session. Share your poem during the peer response session.
-All students in the group will fill out a response rubric for each person’s featured poem. Tape the rubrics onto the peer response page in your journal.
Independent Practice: Carefully consider your peers’ responses and decide which suggestions could help enhance your poem. Using this feedback, continue revising and editing your poem to make it the best it can be.
