Do you have a few writers in your classroom who have trouble getting started or can't seem to write the whole time? This episode is all about engagement in writing, and how building up this independence in your writers will help them to be successful longer than one class period! 

Writing strategies aren't just about what's on paper! They are also about students' behaviors and how they can help them to stay engaged during writing time. 

This episode is short but important! It refers back to one of the foundations of writer's workshop, building a community, and reviews Jennifer Serravallo's Hierarchy of Writing Goals from The Writing Strategies Book. 

Happy Listening!
