Lets Talk : One-on-One, Peer, and Small-Group Writing Conferences

Bok av Mark Overmeyer
When it comes to increasing student motivation and success in writing, classroom talk is a powerful tool, from helping students discover writing topics to developing language to reflect on the writing process. Let's Talk is packed with real classroom examples and stories to help educators make conferences more manageable and meaningful. Organized by types of conferences, this timely book distinguishes between teacher-student talk-which covers one-on-one, small-group, and whole-class conferences-and student-student talk-which includes one-on-one and group peer conferences. In addition to addressing the challenges and needs of educators in the elementary and middle level grades, Mark Overmeyer also focuses on how to work with English language learners.
