Student Work

This section features drafts of "Where I'm From" poems written by Kathryn Mitchell Pierce's students in Workshop video 4. The students were asked to write from the point of view of the main character in their novel. (See Teaching Strategies: "Where I'm From?" Poems.)

As you review the student's work, consider the following questions:
  • What do you notice that this student did well?

  • What questions might you ask this student about his or her work?

Share your answers and read those of other workshop participants at Channel-Talk.
