What is Language Workshop?• Language Workshop is the bridge between Reader’s
Workshop and Writer’s Workshop.
• Students are engaged in an inquiry driven learning
experience.
• Helping children make sense of the reciprocity between
text that they read and text that they write.
“Before you write one poem, you need to read at least 100”
- Katie Wood Ray, Study
Driven

Language Workshop Structure
• Mini lesson (5 minutes)
o Teacher models, using the mentor text, an example of what students
will be investigating
• Investigation (10 minutes)
o Students investigate texts through the eyes of a writer and discover
the author’s crafting techniques
o Teacher confers with groups of students, assessing whether students
are meeting the learning target and coaching students
• Share time (10 minutes)
o Students share their discoveries with their classmates
o Teacher is assessing what students have learned and uses this time
as a teaching opportunity

Units of Study
• Each grade level genre studies include:
o 3 informational texts
o 1 poetry
o 2 fictional
• Using the Common Core, Grade Level Expectations
(GLEs) are assigned to specific studies• Example of 3rd grade Realistic Fiction study GLEs:
o Describe characters in a story (e.g. their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events
o Distinguish their own point of view from that of the narrator or those of the characters.
o Compare and contrast the themes, settings, and plots of stories written by the same author about the same or similar characters (e.g., in books from a series)

Units of Study
• Study Driven by Katie Wood Ray
• What are some standards that your students are
working towards? What is one standard you are working
on right now- how could you have students investigate
and think about it from a reader/writer perspective?

What is a Mentor Text?• Teacher chooses a book within their genre, or unit of study, that
has strong examples to teach with (Usually 1-2 per study)
o Things to consider when choosing a mentor text: Standards, GLEs, crafting techniques, learning targets, student need, student/teacher interest
• A mentor text will be one that you use, and teach from, OVER AND OVER AGAIN! (Students and teacher will know it well)
o Used for reading, language and writing instruction
o You can just go right to the page you want to teach from and begin teaching, and not have to read the entire book (Helps mini lessons stay mini)
