During this time, the teacher will conference with the student or pull small groups. Writing Workshop-During Writing workshop, the teacher teaches a mini-lesson on a strategy or skill. The student then practices the strategy or skill during independent writing. During this time, the teacher will conference with the student or pull small groups.
