In preparation for our launch I create a folder for each of my students to keep their writing pieces along with other writing tools that they may need throughout each unit of study.
I am so excited about these folders, and my students love them as well. There is very little prep work involved and they can be assembled in just 3 simple steps.
STEP 1: Get 3-Prong Folders for Each of Your Students
You only need one folder per student, and for durability I recommend using the plastic folders over the paper ones.
STEP 2: Place 3-4 Plastic Sheet Protectors in the 3-Prongs
I have seen teachers create Writer's Workshop folders by binding multiple folders together. The sheet protectors give you added storage without the extra prep work of figuring out how to combine multiple folders.
STEP 3: Fill the Folders with Writing Tools that Your Students Will Love
In my folders I have a portable word wall. Students love it, because they have their own mini-dictionary. I love it because it eliminates me having to hear, "How do you spell...?"
We would love to hear your thoughts. Please leave your feedback in the comments. We can't wait to connect with you!

In my folders I also have mini posters for each of the six traits that the students can reference as they write and revise their work.
I have also included help tents in my folders that students can set out when they get stuck and are in need of a conference.
Throughout the Writer's Workshop launch I will introduce each of these tools to my students and explain how each one can be effectively utilized.
