Modern Teaching Mondays: Writing Partner Cards

More partner cards

This time for writing

So, you know how I love writing.  One of my favorite things to have students do is participate in a publishing party.  Just as if they were at Barnes and Noble having an author signing or a book talk.  I try to have publishing parties often but sometimes because of time, I have to partner the kids and have them share their stories to one another.  I always tell them: “Please give your partner 3 questions and comments about the piece they just read to you.” Again, because of time, I only have them answer 3 questions. Total.  So, here is something I’d like to share with you: Partner Cards for Writing Conversations. Pretty simple but really does help.  Have a great week!
