From there Rebecca walked us through a demo on Where I'm From using the book, Mama Where are you From? I have done this exercise so many times with my students but I really enjoyed getting to go through the process as just the learner/writer. I really liked the web that Rebecca did with us to narrow our topic and will definitely do that with my students this school year.
The coaching session gave me time to hear what other people were doing and really solidify what will be doing for my quickly approaching demo.
We have lost 3 people in our mentor group and so with just 3 of us we really knocked out what each of us were going to do. I was really glad that Anna got a chance to really hash out her ideas.
Our writing groups makes me laugh and also really think with the variety of stories that come out from each of us. I love listening to how each one of us processes differently.
I have some work to do this evening and the next few to get my demo ready to go but that is okay... I am tired but excited. A very successful day 1 although I guess it is really day 4. :)
