The essay & workshopping



Group work: Workshop Protocol (Please read protocol to students before you begin. Keep time to keep the discussions moving.)

  1. Presenter gives an overview of the ideas/insights/writing for each grade. Start at Kindergarten and move through high school. Listeners are looking for overarching themes/ideas. Listeners don’t speak or respond at all, but they should take notes on what stands out, what they hear.. (5 mins)
  2. Each listener summarizes what they heard the presenter say. (2-3 mins)
  3. Listeners ask probing questions: These questions should be worded so that they help the presenter clarify and expand his/her thinking about the ideas presented. The goal here is to help the presenter refine each grade level story, and improve upon the style, voice, tone, and details. The presenter may respond to the group’s questions, but there is no discussion by the group of the presenter’s responses. (2-3 mins)
  4. Presenter gets to ask questions. The goal here is to gain use your peers as a sounding board. What is missing? What needs elaboration?  (2-3 mins)
