| Crafting Writers: Writing Instruction
That Engages All Learners |
Presented
by: Elizabeth Hale
"What makes Crafting Writers so valuable is that it gives
us a process to name the specific qualities of craft that
comprise more general and nebulous concepts like “strong
voice” and “good description.” By showing us how to
gather and describe craft techniques, and then how to
teach them in writing conferences and lessons, Liz Hale
shows us how to make good writing more tangible for our
students."
— Lucy Calkins

Many elementary and middle school teachers who teach the craft of writing do not always see their efforts transfer into
students’ independent writing. In this workshop, Elizabeth Hale presents teaching specific craft techniques as a way to
move below grade-level as well as advanced writers in tangible ways. With the idea that voice and writing with detail are
descriptions of where we want our students to be, not next steps on how to reach these goals, Elizabeth will offer strategies
that make craft lessons clear, attainable and enjoyable for students. This workshop for teachers in grades 3-8 will also
look at the connection between specific craft techniques and effective conferences that teach students their strengths
and clear next steps.
Teachers will learn practical strategies for:
- Teaching specific craft techniques that support sentence fluency, description and voice
- Increasing student ownership of craft techniques taught
- Teaching mechanics through the lens of craft
- Addressing and supporting grade-level spelling and run-on sentence concerns
- Teaching effective, strength driven writing conferences
- Motivating below grade-level and unenthusiastic writers
- Conferring with students whose writing is already descriptive and full of voice
