Writing Process- Status of The Class

One of my favorite parts of Writer’s Workshop is Status of the Class. It allows teachers to know the status of each student’s progress at any given point of time in the writing process. It includes the 5 stages of the writing process and boy and girl writers so teachers and students know where they are in the writing process.

Here’s how it works: Laminate the Status of The Class banner and display it on a bulletin board or reference wall at eye level horizontally or vertically beginning with planning, drafting, revising, editing & publishing. Put students’ names or initials on each writer and laminate the sheet. Each student gets a “writer.” Students place where they are in the writing process on the banner. Putty or Velcro squares work well once the banner and writers are laminated. Through the writing process, students move their writers across the banner until they get to publishing. This is a great visual for teachers to see a quick snapshot of where all students are in the writing process. Your students will love it too!
