I am excited about this book also!  What good choices that were made!    I have wanted to learn about writers workshop and now here I am.  I like thinking about conceiving, crafting, and correcting.  It gives me direction to give them.  I also felt comfortable to hear that most children find the hardest part of writing is correcting.  They just want to go straight to the finished project. I also was struck by how many decisions a good writer learns to make on their own.  Best practice says that children should be responsible for choosing their topic and this book agrees. We spend alot of our time in our class talking about books.  I am excited to continue reading so that we can write even more.
