It mostly focuses on personal narrative, but also has a lesson focusing on fictional narrative, too.

While I firmly believe students get the most value from seeing each other’s writing, I know it is not realistic to always have students sharing their work. Just like my mini lessons, the writing conference is focused on looking at one item in a student’s writing. We look at each other’s writing and I’ll use a whiteboard or notebook paper to model further if needed. Typically we will review their goal and then I’ll ask if anyone wants to share where they think they’ve met that goal. Groups of no more than 5 students on the same goal will meet with me at once. Read more about how I set individual goals here. We review our writing goals throughout the school year. My groups are determined when the class sets writing goals. When I do have writing conferences, I try to meet with students as a small group like I do with reading groups. Especially if it is a day where I have a longer mini lesson. To be honest I am not always getting to writing conferences. Writing Conferences During Writer’s Workshop Independent writing time in writer’s workshop can vary based on what style of writing we are doing. Other days students are writing stories or taking notes for their research papers.
Some days independent writing might be creating a circle map plan or other type of brainstorming. I find with second graders that this works best for my teaching style. This isn’t to say that we aren’t using the writing process - we are but we go through it methodically together. It works well for some teachers but it doesn’t work for me. I’m not a fan of having the whole class on different parts of the writing process. Typically the whole class is working on the same task. The second example might only be a few minutes to show some examples before we practice whole class. The first example can take a long time depending on the length of the text I am reading. Shorter days my mini lesson might cover the proper way to use quotation marks. On days when my writer’s workshop mini lesson is running long, I am sharing a mentor text and the class is having a discussion about a particular writing technique. If I see students struggling after a particular lesson I will address this in my conferences unless it is happening with the majority of the class. My mini lessons are usually chosen ahead of time when I map out my units. If you are familiar with Lucy Calkins, I run my mini lessons in a similar manner. I try very hard to keep my lessons short and concise to save more time for students to independently write. Depending on the focus for the day’s lesson a mini lesson lasts from 5-15 minutes. Writer’s workshop in my second grade class begins with a mini lesson. Writer’s Workshop: Mini Lesson (I Do, We Do)
