Conferencing Strategy: Award Ceremony

This is a fun little conferencing students can do with a journal entry. In groups of three, students listen as each students reads a short piece aloud. What they are listening for is what that writer does the best. The other two listeners give them awards of "Best Voice" or "Most Inventive Dialogue" or "Diction Diva" or whatever it may be. The reader draws a trophy or medal and label what they did the best.

When all three have finished, students are in charge of using their peers as inspiration and improving their writing in one of the two ways the other writer. As experts, students can discuss and offer suggestions.
