Workshop that worked for me

The workshop that was beneficial for me was teaching 6-trait writing with picture books. I've used it in my class earlier in the week and loved it. I made some changes to the lesson by teaching genres, and literary elements instead of having the kids find the 6-traits in each book. I also incorporated the Ekphrastic Expression art walk lesson in my class this week. The students generated a list of verbs and adjectives about each picture and created a poem. They then changed the words into a haiku and are posting them in graffiti. The collaboration conncetions workshop has been difficult to incorporate. I have not found the ideal lesson to infuse websites into my content area.
