Digging Deeper with Reading & Writing Workshop: Teaching Through Genre Studies Grades 3-5 Presented by : Julie Rodriguez and Heidi Herold “ Like many aspects of technique in language teaching about genres is made more powerful by allowing students to become insiders in the world of that genre. People become insiders in craft when they have to construct the sort of thing they are learning about.” Randy Bomer

Immersion & Inquiry Instructional framework for studying genre in the writing workshop (a predictable rhythm and likely to become intertwined!) – framework is used to uncover curriculum about writing itself – time for students to engage deeply in reading and writing Students’ noticings and questions around gathered texts determine what will become important in each study Depth rather than coverage is the driving force in the development of content (in each genre study) Writing is used as a tool for learning and as a means to communicate that learning

“I think “revision” is badly named. The “re” prefix implies that you are going back over something you’ve already done. But you’re not going back. You are going on with the writing process. It’s all a part of getting it right. A friend of mine who played basketball once said that he envied me because he had just missed a foul shot that would have tied the score at the end of an important game. He said, “But you can write that foul shot until you make it.” He was right. I write a first draft that I know if going to be partly good, partly bad. I may go over a manuscript three or four times before I’m satisfied.” (Marcus 2000,14) Bruce Brooks, author and two time Newberry Award winner
