Have you written anything in your notebook? (Show me)

I think there's a strategy that would help you... Write many different stories about the things you like (break it down)

Uses own writing..."Let me show you"
Ask yourself about "What's One time", "Another time"...etc

So..."What's another time with your brother?"
-Connects with writer's interests
-Shows with own Notebook
-Goes back into students writing

-Praises planning
-Teaching Point: A more detailed plan

Used own experiences as a writer to relate to student writing.

Started with postive feedback first.

intentionally showing all of the parts of his teaching point. Used examples from his personal writing.

I like how he shares his personal experiences as a writer so the student can see that he also is a writer. 
Looks for themes in the topic of his brother so he can go back to it in the future. 
Video 2- thinking of parts of the story as scenes and how you can plan out the scenes to add details. Planning gives you a head start and picture in your head of the story.

Points out that he keeps writing about his brothers and asks to stretch him about different topics.  

Tells him he has done the same with writing about his "dad".   Shows him his examples about writing about the same topic over and over.

Break down topics we like to write about into specific stories so that we can revisit the topic often, multiple ways to write about the same topic.

Creating a web about everything you know about a topic as a plan for multiple stories.  I like this visual of breaking down a topic into multiple stories. 
_______________________________________
Listening to students' current writing. Asking the writer what they want readers to get out of their story. Compliment students current planning piece giving support to help student create more details. Showing example of own work.]]> 2018-02-28 13:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jrussell17/gsd4ou8auccf/wish/236366409 jwinslow2 https://padlet.com/jrussell17/gsd4ou8auccf/wish/236366436 Complimented the student's work as it is now. Got baseline information of the student's writing from past stories even though he is out of ideas. 

Moves into teaching a strategy to the student. Teaches a mininig strategy based on what the teacher knows the student loves to write about. (His Brothers) 

The teacher shows this thinking in his own writing to model for the student. Gives the student a purpose for the rest of writer's workshop.

_______________________________________

The writer set the purpose of the conference with the teacher. The teacher ran with the purpose and encouraged him to change from an entry to a draft. 

Within the entry the teacher noticed that more elaboration would be needed in the draft. When noticing that he decided to come up with a teaching strategy to move the writer forward in the are a of elaboration. 

Teacher opened his own notebook,  and shared the way that he made absolutely sure that he included every detail necessary to tell the reader everything.

Tells the student to try out this strategy and practices part of this strategy aloud with him. 

Pushes the writer to do this strategy everytime, so that he can do this before writing everytime.

Teaching how to break down one favorite topic to make opportunities for multiple stories.

He was not rushing the student to begin drafting. He wants him to take the time to plan and think about possible ideas.]]> 2018-02-28 13:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jrussell17/gsd4ou8auccf/wish/236367022 astout https://padlet.com/jrussell17/gsd4ou8auccf/wish/236367065 Talking about how you can write about the same topic in many different ways
