Tompkins, Chapter 2 - Writing Workshop

Tompkins states " No matter which way teachers use writing workshop, its great benefit is that children become familiar with the ebb and flow of the writing process and experience the exhilaration that all authors feel as they publish their writing and share it with readers." (Tompkins, 2008) Teachers can provide students with opportunities to think about something by themselves, to write about what they have thought considering the proper writing process, and to learn how to express what they wrote effectively and efficiently through the writing workshop. And there are 4 components of writing workshop: writing, sharing, minilessons, and reading aloud to children.
With these 4 components, students can organize what they have thought, share it with others, and get some feedback on it.
