IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

This week we started a new unit of study in Writer’s Workshop.  We are Writing For Readers, meaning that we want to make our writing clear and neat so others can read it.  Today I asked the kids to do something new.  I asked them to go through their own folders of finished books and evaluate them.  They had to make a pile of  “easy to read” books and “hard to read” books.  While watching them sort through their books, I was impressed!  Every student was honest with themselves and really took the time needed to look through and evaluate their own books!  The goal is that the kids find an area they need to work on and apply that to their writing time.  Check back in a few days and I will let you know how we are doing!
