REFLECTION: GRAVES CH. 12,13,14
CHAPTER 13&14:
After reading these chapters, I realized that to be able to effectively conduct conferences with your students, you must incorporate them frequently, and be consistent in your actions. As I read Betty’s story, I didn’t realize that she had planned her conferences, as well as students who needed to be met with, the night before. There are rules and guidelines, as well as, reason and purpose to everything that happens in a structured conference. I also enjoyed reading about Michael, how Mr. Altman helped to bring out ideas from a piece of work that Michael had thought was “Dead”. This book gives real solutions, as well as advice to real situations that may, in fact, one day occur in many of our lives.
The idea of all-class conferences seems like a strategy I would, maybe one day, like to implement into my own class. I think it’s great that the children are comfortable enough with each other to share their pieces of work, as well as ask their peers for help, it they need it.
As for chapter 14, I liked this chapter because it takes you step-by-step through every tough question posed by teachers, as well as step-by-step, detailed solutions; this chapter is a very useful tool for teachers to have.

GRAVES REFLECTION: CHAPTER 15
As I finished this chapter, I realized that being a writer is a long, and maybe, never-ending learning process. I enjoyed how the book showed the individual steps, and levels of competence when it comes to being an effective writer. As the books shows; Sarah is at the first stages of becoming a writer, her work still has little or no meaning to her, but with the proper attention and guidance by a skilled teacher, Sarah will one day be writing pieces that all have significance in her life.
I also liked the part of the chapter that gives us some help when it comes to asking good “Prompt” questions to our students about how to see the importance in their pieces of work. I have noticed that throughout this book, that certain chapter’s are devoted to appropriately teaching professional educators how to deal with problems, and handle some unfavorable conditions. I appreciate that this book is such an important educational tool, which makes me feel more confident in myself, as a future educator in training.

REFLECTION GRAVES: CH. 18, 19, 20
As I stated earlier, about chapter 15, the writing process is a difficult one to master, with many hurdles to overcome, as stated in these chapters. As chapter 18 points out, there are many types of hurdles when it comes to spelling cases. I agree that poor spellers need to learn to understand their individual problems with spelling, but never at the expense of their own content. I believe for this to happen, the student must be surrounded by positive influences, as well as a competent educator, who is ready and willing to take on these hurdles.
I also like how this book gets personal; it gives the reader the advantage of reading and learning about specific situations, and how to help. As the book stated: “The process of helping children realize that their speaking or writing is worthwhile is a slow one”, is something I have come to realize. I just hope that when my time comes, I will be prepared to handle these types of situations effectively.
