Answer to Question 1
Conferences have a predictable structure. The teacher begins by attempting to discover the student's intentions. Here, the teacher is searching for the way to match the teaching during the conference with the writer's goal for this piece of writing. Knowing the writer's goal helps the teacher decide what the writer needs to achieve the goal. The second part of the conference is assessing the writer's needs so as to decide what to teach. The third step is to teach the writer a needed strategy or skill. The teacher teaches something the student needs now, but also something that will be useful in subsequent pieces of writing. The fourth step is to create a plan with the writer. What did the writer understand the teacher to say? What will the writer do now? The teacher then makes a record of the student's plan.
