person or group
but to invite others
to enter a space of
mutual regard and
exploration.

Immersion
Immersion Work:
It is recommended that immersion
work take place during reading, a week
or more prior to beginning the writing
unit of focus. It is also suggested that
text selection should include published
reviews as well as student authored
work.
Modeling Mini
Lesson
What?
Write through the mini
lesson with two
perspectives
Teacher eyes
Writer eyes
Why?
Teachers should write, first of all, because it is fun. It is a
satisfying activity that extends both the brain and the soul.
It stimulates the intellect, deepens the experience of
living, and is good therapy. Teachers should write so they
understand the process of writing from within. They should
know the territory intellectually and emotionally: how you
have to think to write, how you feel when writing.
Teachers of writing do not have to be great writers, but
they should have frequent and recent experience in
writing. If you experience the despair, the joy, the failure,
the success, the work, the fun, the drudgery, the surprise
of writing you will be able to understand the composing
experiences of your students and therefore help them
understand how they are learning to write.
