Abstract
Students sit in pairs interviewing each other--talking, laughing, taking notes with pen and paper. Computers begin to appear on tables, as students segue into drafting feature articles-- those splash-of-color pieces that go beyond straight news in magazines and news source.

Words continue to waft over the room as comments and questions pertaining to content and processes are directed to others. Computer screens are filling up with these words…
Thus begins, the first day of writing workshop in our teacher education courses.
