In terms of the full class novel, I always do at least one, but I do it at the end of the semester, after we've done two and a half months of reader's workshop. My hope is that the workshop will hook more of them into reading, so when we do the class novel, they are more likely to buy in. It worked well. I think it also helps that when we do a book together, we approach it with an inquiry question, to see what we can learn, rather than pick it apart in the "traditional" way. In regards to mixing up reading and writing workshop, I am working on a schedule to do just that. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me to separate it, and I think I'll be happier with it when I do mesh them. I'm planning at least one blog post on how I'm going to attempt it--hopefully before mid August.<br />Room 213https://www.blogger.com/profile/04994184250569494671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-31103490260841467112017-07-23T14:11:42.636-04:002017-07-23T14:11:42.636-04:00I've been looking over your Writer's Works...I've been looking over your Writer's Workshop on TpT, and I was wondering how (or if) you worked in a schedule for the Readers and Writers together. Like everyone, I'm dealing with time constraints. I want to add this to my schedule, I was able to pull it off last year, but I had to drop a number of whole class novels. This caused a little bit of tension between me and the other tenth grade teacher. I want to bring back some of those novels, but I'm not sure how to balance that. Any help would be great.

For example, if I know we need to whole class to do an activity or to get something finished up, they won't do the reading.<br />Room 213https://www.blogger.com/profile/04994184250569494671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-40583835313714778672016-09-13T14:52:14.026-04:002016-09-13T14:52:14.026-04:00I just wrote a question on another post of yours, ...I just wrote a question on another post of yours, not realizing you wrote a blog on this exact topic! Thanks-and sorry about that. A question about this one-do you have them reading silently everyday even on the non reading workshop days? I was thinking of having them read for the first 10 minutes of class no matter what to keep the flow of their reading. Hope you don't have this answer on another blog post...I will now go and read them all and save the rest of my questions :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147741456737476069.post-85098279676231692992015-08-30T18:15:53.415-04:002015-08-30T18:15:53.415-04:00Thank you!Thank you!H.
