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 and Pam discuss what happens when students write deeply about personal issues. When the workshop teacher creates an atmosphere of freedom, students will write about uncomfortable topics– this may be a cry for help!  Sometimes, the teacher may be brought into the personal lives of the students more than a traditional English class.

How do teachers react to such writing? 

Jacob points out that the promise of the workshop empowers students to write deeply about their own story.  Pam shares some past moments when reading her students’ writings have made a difference in their lives.

Join Jacob and Pam as they dive deeply into the promise of the workshop!  Discover the promise of your workshop, too!
