Reflection for Launching With Small Moments

Name _________________________________________Date __________________________

We have now been in school for about a month. We have learned so much about ourselves as

writers, about one another, and about writing workshop.

What is your favorite thing about writing workshop?

What do you do well in writing?

What is hard for you about writing?

How are you going to be a problem solver instead of a problem keeper of this challenge?

Based on Stephanie Parsons, (2007). Second Grade Writers. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.
