This article appeared in the Sunday 08/30/09 NY Times.
This article is mostly about one teacher's application of writing workshop a la Nancy Atwell's In The Middle.

I was fortunate enough to hear Nancy Atwell speak in like 1991 at a Capital Region Reading Association Conference at the Desmond Americana. She had really long hair then and she was all Portlandy and cool. I loved her descriptions of her students' writing development during her writing workshop.
