All week students have been busy meeting with a parter to revise and edit their rough draft. The class was given a peer conferencing sheet where partners had to score one another from 1-5 for each of the 6 writing traits (conventions, organization, ideas, word choice, sentence fluency, and voice). The sheet was set up so partners were "forced" to provide specific feedback - why they were giving the particular score and what advice they could give to improve the score. After each conference, students were to go back to their rough draft and continue improving it, based on the given feedback. This week students will be conferencing with a teacher and beginning their final copy.
