Like the teachers who looked to her for help, I am much better with the 'how' of a conference than the 'what.' For years, ever since I first read Anderson's 'How's It Going?' and attended an all-day workshop with him, I've struggled to find the perfect teaching point. In Chapter 1, Hale explains she will share the skills behind conferring. I want to learn from her how to "notice craft in many different levels of writing and how I made the more craft-like aspects of writing, such as description and sentence fluency, more tangible for students." Like Hale, I want to use "specific craft, not just general concepts, that support the ability to write." What jumped out at you in Chapter 1? What made you want to keep reading? What made you say, "Aha!" Judy RESPOND TO THIS POST START A NEW THREAD RETURN TO CHATBOARD Posts on this thread, including this one Crafting Writers, Chapter 1, 6/27/08, by judy3ca.
