Using the Workshop Approach in the High School English Classroom
Modeling Effective Writing, Reading, and Thinking Strategies for Student Success
Everybody wins when you practice the workshop approach in high school English!
Do you find that preparing students for standardized tests interferes with teaching advanced thinking, reading, and writing skills in a meaningful way? Here's a way to balance test preparation with more subjective, creative competencies. This practical guide addresses the daily running and practice of a workshop-based classroom, using research and the author's experiences to illustrate how to establish a workshop that:
- Fosters lasting learning while reinforcing skills needed for standardized tests
- Teaches audience and purpose as a vehicle to style and structure
- Gives students the confidence to take risks
