Sharing+in+Writing+Workshop

= Practice = Student sharing in writing workshop can occur at several stages of the writing process and in several formats.

Before Writing:

 * Students can brainstorm together as a whole group, small group or partners to gain ideas.

During Writing:

 * Student pairs or small groups can gain focus for their writing during editing and revising.

After Writing:

 * Often called "Author's Chair", sharing published work or finished pieces allows students to practice their oral language and listening skills, gain appreciation for others' writing, and provide opportunities to give and receive feedback.
