Writing+Workshop-Class+Management

Have CLEAR and CONSISTANT procedures in place:

Spend AS MUCH TIME as necessary to teach these procedures from the beginning!
 * Where do students keep their work?
 * Where do students get paper, pencils, and other supplies?
 * How do students let you know they need a conference?
 * What are the rules for students during your mini-lesson?
 * How do students form partnership for peer editing?
 * Is there a specific form for editing?
 * How will students share their work?
 * How are you going to grade student's work?
 * Are students allowed to move around? If so, for what?
 * Are students able to talk? If so, who, how long, and about what?
 * How will you monitor student progress?
 * How will you evaluate students?
