This document provides 10 tips for effective writing conferencing:
1) Teachers should do some writing themselves to better teach writing.
2) Conferences should be a dialogue where writers discuss their topic, process, next steps, and struggles.
3) There are multiple structures for conferences beyond "Research, Decide, Teach".
Narrative writing
This document provides guidance and exercises for students to practice writing narrative texts. It begins by reassuring students that the teacher will help them with creativity. It then defines narrative text and has students watch a 1 minute 50 second video about writing techniques. Students are asked to discuss difficulties in the chat and share the most helpful technique. They are given examples to begin a short story and asked to write a plan and beginning. Finally, students choose a classmate's story and give feedback, and prepare a graphic organizer to retell a story for an oral exam.
Day 1 Creative Writing NDGS
The document outlines the plans and structure for an introductory creative writing class. It discusses that the class will include introductions from each student, an overview of class expectations and structure, a discussion of common myths about creative writing and revising those myths, a writing prompt about place, and an assignment to read a short story for the next class. Students are instructed on options for saving their writing and the expectations for in-class workshops. The document provides guidance for the writing prompt activity and shares the homework expectations for the next class.
Ewrt1 a f15 class 3
This class focuses on developing skills for success in college through group work and discussion. The document outlines the class agenda which includes presenting vocabulary, having discussions on assigned readings, and practicing dialogue writing in small groups. Guidelines are provided for participation in assigned groups, including tracking participation points. Students are then split into groups to discuss vocabulary terms and participate in a game to test their knowledge. Finally, examples are provided on formatting dialogue in narrative writing, and students are given an in-class writing prompt to practice incorporating dialogue into a brief story.
Achieving a in writing
This document provides tips to help students achieve an A or A* grade on the writing section of an exam. It recommends focusing on structure, cohesion between paragraphs, varied sentence types and lengths, pretending someone is reading the response, using imagery and being over the top, crafting an engaging introduction, and planning in advance with a diagram. Specific examples are given to illustrate each tip. The goal is to show passion and care about the topic, even if feigned, to make the writing impressive and stand out to graders.
Task-Based Learning
The document discusses task-based language learning (TBLL), which involves using tasks to provide students opportunities to use language to achieve specific outcomes. A task focuses on meaning and gives students freedom to use language, while an activity is the process for achieving a task. Good examples of TBLL tasks include planning a game, problem solving, and sharing experiences, while bad examples are giving students lists, role plays without problem solving, and activities without a goal. TBLL aims to involve students in using language as a tool for learning, provoke critical thinking over accuracy, and only have teachers help in extreme situations.

Learning Literacy
The President of the Optimism Club turned to me; “Draw a number please,” she ordered. I reached my clammy hands into the bowl and snatched a piece of paper. I drew number one. That means I was to be first to present. I walked to the center of the stage and gathered myself for the moment I’d been preparing myself for weeks. I looked up from my jam-packed notecards into a sea of people and began… “Why me? Why not?”
Literacy is most widely known as the ability to read and write although it is not an ability one can acquire overnight, but a process that evolves with experience. My ability to write in a sophisticated and fluid manner has been an ongoing and exasperating process. In my younger years my writing was imaginative, enjoyable, and exciting. Although just like all skills advance so did my writing. As I entered middle school, my writing took a turning point when presenting became part of the process. Writing speeches and presenting them became the next frustrating milestone of my writing development. Through perseverance and practice my writing exploration has made me the literate person I am today, not only in writing, but in presenting with confidence.
My first recollection of writing included writing stories of the best memories of my childhood. As a young girl I spent a lot of my time with my Grandpa Baird. Almost every day we both would take our walking sticks and stroll to the candy store to pick up a sugary treat; I would always get a pack of Rolos. This memory was the first thing I ever wrote about due to the assignment I received in the first grade to write about a special memory. I will never forget the feeling of enthusiasm I sensed when I got to write about someone that I loved and enjoyed spending so much time. The satisfaction when Baird read my story will never leave me. Writing was a pleasurable, and inspiring part of me; all this changed when I entered middle school.
In middle school the topics I was assigned were often uninteresting and tedious. Teachers expected faultless grammar, proper sentence structure, and the dreaded 3.5 format to be done appropriately. My head was befuddled with a.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Conferring Tips in Writing Workshop, Shana Frazin
- 1. The Secret to Powerful Teaching: Tips and Strategies that Will Make a Difference in Your Writing Conferring Presented by Shana Frazin @sfrazintcrwp shana@readingandwritingproject.com
- 2. Welcome! Let’s begin by chatting with someone who is sitting near to you: Book, Movie, TV series, Game or App recommendation Topic you are currently in studying Potty or sleep training? Language? Skill: cooking or carpentry? Small moment story from your morning
- 3. Tip #1: You gotta get in the pool if you want to swim In other words, in order to teach writing, you need to do some writing. Quick Write: Opinion, Narrative or Information based on your neighborly conversation
- 4. Tip #2: A conference is a dialogue, not a monologue During a writing conference, writers say some things about… WHAT HOW Topic My piece is about… Writing Process I am… (collecting or developing or choosing or…) Next Steps Next, I am planning to… Trouble I need some help with…
- 5. Tip #2.5: Teach Other Ways Writers Talk About Writing Quantity Quality Identity (with evidence!)
- 6. Tip #3: There’s more than one way to get in the pool In other words, Research, Decide, Teach is not the one and only structure for a writing conference Assessment conference Compliment-only conference Partner conference Follow-up conference Coming Soon… conference
- 7. Tip #4: Create examples with explanations “Writers reach not for the ornate or the impressive word, but for the true word, the precise word.” ~Lucy Calkins In my own writing: 1st try: I watched my mom as she combed her hair. More precise try: I studied my mom as she lifted the blue plastic pick to her curls. Phft, phft, phft. Abraham’s writing 1st try: I was so excited. I jumped up and down. More precise try: Inside me was a tingle. I started to feel a little taller. Like a big brother. I made a fist, stretched my arm and tugged to my chest and said, “yea!!”
- 8. Tip #5: Talking about Writing is Writing Work Some people say, “If you can’t speak it, you can’t write it.” Other people say, “Practice makes… permanent.” I say, “Oral rehearsal is a powerful tool for creating community and for improving the quality of writing.”
- 9. Tip #6: Recruit Co-Teachers (Including Your Very Own Students) There is a clear and powerful link between reading and writing that eludes some students. Capitalize on this link by showing kids how you and many other writers walk in the footsteps of the masters. From Crow Call: It’s morning, early, barely light, cold for November. At home, in the bed next to mine, Jessica, my older sister still sleeps. But my bed is empty. My writing: It’s evening, late, no sounds, save the whir of the AC unit. At home, in the room next to hers, Tami’s mom sleeps like a baby. But Tami is too angry for sleep.
- 10. Tip #7: Twitter! Just a few ah.mazing authors who are available on twitter: Melissa Stewart Seymour Simon Jane Yolen Lester Laminack Cynthia Lord Roy Peter Clark And, many of your favorite TCRWP SDers!
- 11. Tip #8: Track Your Teaching “Take only memories. Leave only footprints.” is good advice while hiking and conferring. Give and take artifacts— TurboScan Evernote Old School: Post-Its
- 12. Tip #9: Fall in Love with… Revision Revision is a disposition to be nurtured Our first thought is rarely our best thought Shout it out from the rooftops Make “before and after” writing visible
- 13. Tip #10: Get happy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM How can we make our classroom feel like a room without a roof?
