Part 2: Writing Conference Plan

At the beginning, sit next to the child and review the notes from the previous conference. Use the plan below to develop a short “script” for a writing conference—you only need a few lines for each of the parts listed below.

|1. Acknowledge what is working in the writing based on one of the five traits for revision: ideas, organization, voice, word choice|

|(show, don’t tell), or fluency. |

| |

| |

|2. Select one trait for a focused revision—pick the trait that will help this child’s writing the most. Within that trait, decide |

|on one item as your teaching point. Use the language from the 6+1 Trait( Scoring Guide. For example, if you chose the organization |

|trait, you might work with the student to write a more inviting introduction. |

| |

|3. Demonstrate what you want the child to do. Will you recommend that the student add, move, cut, or leave alone? Watch as the |

|child tries the skill or strategy learned during the conference. |

| |

|4. Restate the teaching point and remind the writer to use the particular strategy. |

| |

Finally, be sure that you keep a record of the conference. It is best to write the record with the student. Every teacher will develop his or her own record keeping system that addresses what is going well for the student, the teaching point addressed in the conference, and other needs for future conferences.
