Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

Jacob asks, “What is writing in the writing workshop?”  Pam and Jacob ponder the question and consider how writing in the workshop is different than a traditional English classroom.  

Pam shares how the writing in the writing workshop depends on student centered writing driven by student choice. Jacob shares how writing is a response to the students’ lives born of an organic process celebrated by the writing teacher.

They each discuss the importance of why it is important to provide opportunities for students to experiment with their ideas, processes, language, followed by an  appreciation of writing.

Join Jacob and Pam while they delve into how workshop writing is different from a traditional English classroom writing. May the episode help you determine how you want to approach the writing process, too!
