• The Writing Circle: A Powerful Structure that Supports Writers and Promotes Peer Interaction...
  The Writing Circle by Sylvia Gunnery explores classroom writing groups as a powerful structure for giving students the support and guidance they need. Based on a common structure found in the writing world outside of school, these groups provide an ideal way for students to learn from each other. Under the teacher's guidance, young writers can work together on all aspects of the writing process—sharing drafts of writing, responding to each other's works-in-progress, and building confidence in themselves as writers.
