This standards-aligned writing conference tool guides students in meeting the Common Core English writing standard W.9-10.1. Perfect for high school English teachers using writing workshops, peer review sessions, or small group writing strategies, this resource provides focused, formative assessment for argumentative writing.
Students are supported through every stage of their draft—developing a precise thesis, incorporating strong evidence, refining reasoning, and addressing counterclaims—while teachers are equipped with a clear, efficient structure for conferencing.
✅ What’s Included:
Editable Writing Conference Sheet (PDF + Google Doc™) Use in print or digitally for flexible, efficient feedback sessions.
Student-Friendly Checklist Aligned to W.9-10.1 Helps students track progress on key writing skills.
Conference Guiding Questions for Teachers Prompts for claim clarity, evidence analysis, counterargument handling, and conclusion strength.
Built-in Scaffolds & Sentence Starters Perfect for differentiation, with support for struggling writers and extensions for advanced learners.
Small Group Adaptation Strategies Includes Think-Pair-Share ideas, peer review roles, and mini-lesson suggestions.
Formative Assessment Language Designed for mid-draft, post-draft, or revision check-ins during the writing process.
Key Benefits:
It’s fully aligned to W.9–10.1, so you don’t have to double-check standards—you’ll know your feedback is hitting the right targets.
You get a clear, standards-based conference template, so you can guide students through what actually makes a strong argument (without rambling or reinventing the wheel).
It works as a formative assessment tool, so you can spot gaps in student writing while they’re still writing—not after grading a stack of essays.
It’s editable and printable, so whether you're teaching in Google Classroom or with paper folders, it fits right into your system.
It’s ready to use, so you can walk into your next writing workshop with zero prep and still have conferences that actually move the needle.
