Students had their rough drafts "checked off."

Revised rough drafts are due in class tomorrow. Bring both your first and second rough draft.

Students followed the following conferencing protocol:

Assemble according to group numbers. (Oldest student goes first.)

#1

With a pen in hand, read YOUR essay ALOUD (mark problems as you read)

#2

Conference partners should say “Wait” if / when they get confused

#3

Author marks that passage (goes back and revises it later)

#4

When author is done conference partners say only what was good, unless author asks for constructive criticism

#5

Repeat with next author(s)

#6

When all authors have read their own papers aloud only then may they hand their paper to a peer for them to read.
