Teaching in a Workshop Model in Middle School

Thinking about using a workshop model to teach reading and writing in middle school?  I ran across this teacher's blog on Twitter in the middle of August.  She is a teacher who is just moving from elementary to middle school and wanting to use this structure in her class - with a very limited time frame.  This first link will show you her thinking, goals, plans, etc., before going into the year.  This is that link in her blog:  http://goo.gl/J5JM1c​

A few days ago her blog popped up on my Tweet Deck so I checked in on her.  She was reflecting on how everything was going after being weeks into the year.  She writes about what is working and what has not worked.  Her perspective on using the workshop model in middle school is very insightful. This is her update:  http://goo.gl/hfqpE1​

Follow her on Twitter to see how the rest of her year goes!
