Writing Conferences: Conversations with our Writers
Presenter: Ann Finore and Gary W. Abbamont Time: February 18, 2011 from 9:35-11:00 AM Room: D31

During our Writing Conferences: Conversations with Our Writers we used a Keynote file to organize our session. This file and some other workshop resources are included below for your reference. We hope that you will find them helpful in your efforts to strengthen your conferences with your writers.


 * 1) This file is a copy of our Keynote presentation shown on the SMARTBoard during the session. Please take time to review some of the slides toward the end of the presentation as we did not get to share them all. [[file:The Writing Conference KEYNOTE.pdf]]
 * 2) This file will provide you with some additional information on the assessment of student writers.[[file:AndersonCarlAssessing.pdf]]
 * 3) Julie Mazurek from Lower Gwynedd E.S. shared this Writing Conference Template with me today and has offered to make it available to you. A template such as this can be very helpful in focusing your conferences and maintaining a record of the content of your conferences.[[file:The Writing Conference Template.docx]]
 * 4) Ann Finore prepared a list of books that feature a specific writer's craft/technique. We would encourage you to create your own collection of books that will help your writers "see" the techniques authors use to develop their works. [[file:Mentor Texts.pdf]]
