Using the Workshop Approach in the High School English Classroom: Modeling Effective Writing, Reading, and Thinking Strategies for Student Success

Do you find that preparing for standardized tests interferes with teaching advanced thinking, reading, and writing skills in a meaningful way? Do you want to balance test preparation with more creative activities? Success in school and beyond depends on oneâ€™s ability to read fluently, write coherently, and think critically. This handbook uses the workshop model for exponentially increasing adolescentsâ€™ abilities in these three key areas.

This practical guide addresses the daily running and practice of a workshop-based classroom, using research and the authorâ€™s own experiences to illustrate how to establish a workshop that:

Fosters lasting learning while reinforcing the skills needed for standardized tests
Teaches audience and purpose as a vehicle to style and structure
Provides a supportive and lively environment in which students are comfortable enough to take risks and share original ideas

Try Urbanskiâ€™s approach to teaching literacy analysis and mentoring student writers, and discover just how rewarding the workshop experience can be!
