Throughout reading chapter 3, I think for a classroom to work very effectively (much like the Newspaper business they referenced to), there need to be some stations. I couldn't help but invision my future classroom doing writing workshop with different places for different things. Bean bags for comfort, computers in one corner, 1 corner designated for pure silence, 1 area with all reference materials for anything about poetry, one area with all reference materials about fiction, non-fiction, etc. One "craft" area where students can use creating things to produce/prompt them in their writing. Maybe this is a bit idealistic and no classroom would ever have the space, but I think it would be a very cool things. That way, the teacher knows just by where the student is located in the room, what type of writing they are working on. It briefly mentioned that we should "think" about how to set up our classroom, but no real ideas or examples. What does normally happen? How is writing workshop physically organized in the classroom???
