Conferencing

After completing two conferencing sessions I thought they were very helpful. A fresh pair of eyes is always good because they can catch things that you didn't even notice. We know what we meant to write, and sometimes read that instead of what is actually written on the page. I usually allow other people to see my writing before I turn it in, although it's usually a parent or my brother. I think having a peer review your writing is very helpful because they have an idea of what is suppose to be in it. The cons of this type of conferencing is that students may not actually use peer conferencing to their advantage. With assignments like this students may not stay on task, and instead just socialize.
