Writing Conferences

An important part of the writing process that my students have been working hard at this year is conferencing. We love to go to the teachers and share our hard work but we are working really hard to count on one another for the same writing support. There are lots of creative thinkers in our class, there are students who love collecting interesting and juicy words, and we all are practicing being good listeners! 

Right now we are working to write space stories that somehow incorporate our research planets. Gidhan was having a hard time coming up with a plot for her Pluto space story and once she finally got something down, she worked with Sam- our expert writer, to change a few things that seemed a little confusing. She read her story to him and while asking her questions and helping her out with some of those confusing parts, he also worked to give her praise for what she already had. Great work Sam and Gidhan!
