Book excerpt: Im Vopat offers a comprehensive and practical guide on how to get the ideal writing classroom up and running with writing circles. In essence, Vopat has taken the idea of literature circles and applied it to the writing classroom. Writing circles bridge the gap found in the traditional writing workshop between direct instruction and independent work: collaborative learning. Vopat also provides helpful suggestions and forms to get your writing circles started and on track, some of which are similar to the role sheets found in literature circles.
