Writer’s Workshop Conference

This is a small flip camera video we made with students Jackie and Byron today in our Writer’s Workshop session. We are doing this in preparation of Mr Power coming in tomorrow as he will be working with the students on a mini-project on this. The students are working in pairs to conference about the latest small-seed idea they have been working on.

Hooray, we have just uploaded our conferences to the portal and to the student’s blogs so now you can all hear what we have been up to. Check out student blogs to hear some of our interviews.
