New to Writing Workshop?

If you are new to riding workshop, this free writing conference guide is for you!

You can download this free guide at the bottom of this post.

How will this conference guide help me?

The guide has questions and reminders grouped by categories. The hope is this makes it easy for you to flip to the correct section.

This guide is designed for you to print on card stock and laminate. Then, cut the pages in half.

Once the pages are cut, we suggest hole punch the top left corner and  binding with a single binder ring.

This will create a simple writing conference guide that will be your new go to resource as you begin conferences.

We have left space at the bottom of each page so you can add additional reminders for each page. There are also blank pages at the end for you to use as needed.

Once you are comfortable with conducting writing conferences, your conferences will become more natural and you will no longer need this guide.

This can also be a great tool to provide for your student teachers. It makes a great welcome gift and can make beginning conferences a little less stressful.

If you have additional ideas, please share in the comments below to help other teachers.

[...] Lesson 8  Looking at More Nonfiction  Again, begin today with a nonfiction read aloud, paying attention to the nonfiction text features.  When finished with the reading and discussion, provide students with blank books and allow them to begin writing.  As always, during independent writing you will filter around and conference with your students.  If you need assistance with completing meaningful writing conferences, we have created a guide you will find here:  http://www.thecurriculumcorner.com/2012/09/25/writing-conference-guide/.
