To help students to write effectively, many teachers use writing workshop that is an innovative way of implementing the writing process (Callkins, 1994; Fletcher & Portalupi, 2001; Overmeyer, 2005 as cited in Tomkin, 2006). Writer's Workshop is an interdisciplinary writing technique which can build students' fluency in writing through continuous, repeated exposure to the process of writing. Writing workshop is an approach to writing in which students are in charge of their own writing. In sum, the goal of writer’s workshop is to get students to develop the same though processes as real writers and make most students are no longer afraid of writing or blocked by a blank sheet of paper through writing workshop (Peyton et all.,1994).
Response: Julien referred to the comment that writing workshop is a method of teaching instruction that gives students opportunities to write in a variety of genres and helps foster a love for writing. I also think writing workshop is a good way to help students who are not interested in writing become excited in and feel responsible for their writing is to use writing workshop. Therefore, if teachers provide lots of writing workshop, the students will get more chances for improving learning writing.
