This was this morning during our Writing Time.  For the first write, students were writing about a topic of their choice.  Then they conferenced with their partner, edited the writing and came back to the group for a second write.  That topic was something that they liked in the class…for example, Math (what part of math), reading (what is one of their favorite books  Why?), etc.  They were writing for 20 minutes, conferenced for 5-7 minutes, then on to the next writing topic.  Take a look…
