Writing workshops focus on the writing, with teachers focusing on what's on the page, what’s missing, and how the writing needs to change to meet a set of standards. Whereas, a writers' workshop focuses on the writer with a teacher's focus on the person crafting the text—helping writers choose topics, purposes, and audiences for their writing and offering suggestions to guide the writer's decision-making process. A writing workshop provides a physical space for writers to work, while a writers' workshop provides both a physical and psychological space for writers to grow. I believe we teachers need to work towards building a writers' workshop within our classrooms. The materials I have selected for purchase for the project will help me implement these two components in my English II inclusion classrooms. Our campus is comprised of 2,850 students, with 60% being economically disadvantaged and 10.6% of students in special education.
