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

In this episode Jacob and Pam share how they have used quick writes in their classes. They utilize Linda Rief’s The Quickwrite Handbook: 100 Mentor Texts to Jumpstart Your Students’ Thinking and Writing. They each hold Linda Rief in high regard in the world of professional development for workshop, reading and writing. 

Pam shares how she learned the technique from Linda Rief in a Literacy Workshop. Jacob shares that he uses the Quick Writes to jumpstart his mini-lessons as well as his students’ thinking and writing. This is a great book to add to your professional collection! 

Join Jacob and Pam as they discuss Quick Writes and the impact that they have made on their workshops! Maybe it will jumpstart your students’ thinking, too!
