Greetings from the Finger Lakes region of New York State! I've arrived in beautiful Canandaigua, NY, and am staying at an inn on Lake Canandaigua. Tomorrow and Friday I'll be speaking at a teachers' conference. I'm giving three sessions: one on pre-writing activities, one on teaching vocabulary, and one on literature. There will also be opportunities for me to sign my books at a book table.
As I sit here in my hotel room, I'm debating about whether to revamp my whole workshop or just stick with what I've done before. It's always a challenge to practice what one preaches about inductive teaching and teaching for comprehension--especially when there's a lot of material to be covered in a short amount of time. Perhaps I should focus more on inspiring the teachers of writing to be inspirational than to cover all of the material on my handout. After all, the material on the handout will be there when they get home. (They can read it.)
