Hi! We have a system of daily independent work which includes vocabulary, writing workshop, and reading workshop. Every Friday, they must post an RRJ entry (two paragraphs - summary and personal reaction) on our class blog. I write responses (sometimes modeling, sometimes prodding, sometimes simply reacting), and occasionally they look at each other's blogs as well. I offer "choice time" at the end of each block, usually 15-30 minutes. Anything left over (whether independent work or project work for given unit) is homework. :-) Take care, Bill Ivey Stoneleigh-Burnham School _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
