Prompt for Individual Journal Entry 1

STUDENTS PLEASE NOTE:  DO NOT COMPOSE YOUR ANSWER TO THIS HERE, but as you PREPARE for SESSION 2 keep in mind these questions:  

As you reflect on your experiences teaching (or perhaps simply assigning) writing, consider what "feels comfortable":  What core principles do you value and enact in your classroom?  Time for writing?  Conferring with students?   How have those practices remained constant over time?   


At the same time, consider your familiarity with a variety of technologies including word processors, digital audio and video editors, and online writing spaces such as blogs and wikis.  What are some of the challenges you anticipate in trying to blend the principles of the writing workshop with these technologies?
