Comments provided by participating teachers and compiled by Russ Bischoff, VP at Penbrooke Elementary School, Calgary,  regarding an all-day in-service I conducted for teachers from three schools, November, 2005.     Lyle, The feedback from the workshop was very positive. Staff was impressed with the sequencing.  *        This workshop changed some previous assumptions I had about writing and teaching writing *    It really emphasized the time frame that is needed to have students break down their writing into stages *    Fantastic!  Using story telling as a means of teaching students the elements of writing is very powerful *    Focusing on the process of writing will be beneficial to me and the students *    The details that were provided for each stage of writing was excellent *    Sharing our own experiences and creating stories with students is an excellent idea.  Modelling is powerful *    This is a very good process that will motivate students to be writers Thanks again Lyle. Have a great Holiday season Russ Bischoff
