Peer Conferencing
Peer Conference Preparation
1.
Take a look at a sample peer conferences--solid
examples of conferencing: https://docs.google.com/a/washington.k12.ia.us/document/d/1VrP4fbqRcTGwXYv4M25AetaPqiBU2O41N0XmnFQQv8c/edit
2.
Why is this a solid peer conference? What’s helpful about the comments Mikayla
made to Kyle:

We complimented AND criticized—balanced.
b.
PC told where she was confused.
c.
PC is respectful, not rude.
d.
PC was specific, including grammar and word
choice.
e.
PC gave an alternate for something that wasn’t
working.
3.
Discuss how to COMMENT on google drive.
4.
Read the Poetry—Commenting, Revising and Editing
sheet.
5.
Put a star by three questions you want answered
about your poem.
6.
Type those
three questions at the top of your poem.
7.
…and now a word about partners—listen carefully.
8.
Share your
poem on google doc with the person I assign you.
Peer Conferencing
1.
Read
your partner’s three questions, so you know what they most want you to comment
on.
2.
Using
the COMMENT function, make at least TEN comments on each other’s poems in the
margins.
3.
When
you think you’re done, count your comments in the right margin, to make sure
you have ten.
4.
Finally,
answer each of the questions your partner typed. Type your answer underneath each question.
5.
Bag
your computer.
6.
When you finish #1-#4, start page 5 in your yellow packet—Earthbook Reading Assignment. Earthbooks
are on the heater.
Reminder: The only
acceptable places to be on your computer today are as follows:
1. The blog
2. The sites/links on the blog
3. An online dictionary or synonym finder
4. Google drive
5. Pandora
Ø
If LAN School tells me you are any place else, you lose
half-credit on your daily assignment, which cannot be made up.
Revising to a Second Draft
1.
Read your partner’s comments, then make at least ten
revisions to your poem to make it stronger. Here’s what you can do to revise:
a.
Add words
b.
Delete words
c.
Switch words and lines around
d.
Take out one word, and substitute a stronger
one
e.
Make a strong title.
f.
Make all your line breaks strong.
2.
Note:
editing corrections need to be made, but they do not “count” as
revisions.
3.
When you think you’re done, click on “FILE”, then
“SEE REVISION HISTORY”. Count how many
revisions you made—do you have at least ten?
4.
Share it with me (“Kerrie Willis”) on google
docs.
Reading Assignment (page 5) and Earthbook
1.
Read and relax .
(This means you read for enjoyment.)
:-)
2.
If you’re reading a piece, and you stop enjoying
it, turn the page!
3.
Did you find a piece you though was really
strong? Or really funny? Then record it on page 6.
4.
NOTE:
Make sure your reason for selecting it is a well-constructed, detailed,
two sentences for each piece you pick.
