Episode 88 Writing Conferring Series: Re-teach Conference
Manage episode 454941247 series 3540087
What does a conference sound like you ask? Listen in to hear Melissa provide a detailed example of a "Re-teach Conference."
Quite often, the strategies you have taught are not being implemented in each student's independent writing pieces.
The purpose of a "Re-teach" conference is to provide follow-up, explicit instruction on a previously taught writing strategy from a whole-class mini-lesson.
Because the strategy being used has already been taught, the preparation is quite minimal...WINNING!
In this episode, Melissa will discuss how and why to choose this conference for your writers as well as the benefits of implementation.
Not only is the Re-teach conference easy to put into practice, it is also highly effective for your writers!
