Writing+Conference

 =Writing Conference... =
 * **Individual Conference** - at times the teacher may move around the room talking to children as they go, asking questions to individual children.
 * **Group Conference** - Can take place when a group of children have a similar problem or the teacher wants to teach an aspect of writing to the whole class.

Questions can be asked in all kinds of writing conferences.

//What's that piece about? How did you get started? What is your favourite part?//
 * Opening Questions//://**

Paraphrase what the child says so you encourage them to supply more information.
 * Following Questions**:

These are designed to help the children think through the work they have done and where they will go to next//. What do you think you will do next? Can you think of a different way to say that? Does the ending suit the introduction?//
 * Process Questions:**

Eventually the writer learns to use these questions to self conference, without relying on the teacher to ask the questions.
