One Workshop that Would Work for Me and One That Would Challenge Me
I think that one workshop that would work well for me is "Connecting Kids with Nature through Writing." I think my students would love the activity of writing from different points of view (i.e. writing from the hawks point of view and/or the mouse's point of view). It would also be fun to have a debate from the different perspectives.
The workshop that would challenge me would be "Teaching 6-Trait Writing With Picture Books." The challenge would be to find/purchase the books necessary to for the different activities. I would also be challenge by trying to figure out what book teaches what trait. I would need more training and practice to feel confortable teaching this to my students.
I wasn't able to attend either of these workshops, but I really like the idea of looking at things from different perspectives. It reminds me of a poem I read this morning:

Bill Knott
I lay down in the empty street and parked
My feet against the gutter's curb while from
The building above a bunch of gawkers perched
Along its ledges urged me don't, don't jump.
