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. 

‘What is an assignment?’ seems like a simple question, until it is discussed. 

In this episode Jacob and Pam dive into the ‘What is an assignment?’ question.  Pam begins by trying to answer the question and soon realizes that the answer is complicated due to the complexity found in education.  Jacob does a quick search to get a more formal answer.

Jacob shares how teachers assign work in various ways. They both share how they have assigned work and graded it in their own classrooms. The consensus is that the work assigned must match the learning goal.

Join Jacob and Pam as they think about assignments and reflect on how teachers will want to use them in their own workshops!
