Each student is met at his or her own level. After a student has met with a teacher, a final draft is the next and final step. Students choose how they will publish their works. Posters, picture books, mobiles, or bound manuscripts are all options. Children are encouraged to use their best handwriting or printing.
Some students type their works.
Classrooms set up with WW in mind often have a special publishing center with creative papers and options for making students' books beautiful. Once the book is complete some of our teachers have a shelf for the published authors of the classroom. The books then become an option for reading for the entire class. After a semester, students can choose to take their books home. If a manuscript is completed and not wanted, it is placed in the student's portfolio.
