Provide a Listening Purpose During Author’s Chair

The writer’s workshop should end with an Author’s Chair. This 3-5-minute all-class meeting is intended to highlight some of the great writing generated that day.

However, if you’re not intentional, the show-and-tell nature that often permeates the Author’s Chair can make it a long and rather purposeless time of the workshop.
