Catching the Common Core

The workshop that I would find the easiest to use in my classroom is the Using Picture Books to Teach the Six Writing Traits. This would be the easiest because picture books are a staple in class. The most difficult would probably be the Using Poetry as Therapy. This would be the most difficult for young writers because they are so concrete and haven't developed the varied levels of thinking to use poetry in a self refection lesson.

I think that the use of picture books can be a very powerful tool used in the classroom at any level if they are specifically chosen for a particular purpose. Kids of all ages enjoy picture books, whether they admit it or not. :)
