Learning Objectives

Students will be able to use electronic devices to participate in peer writing conferences. Students will be able to participate in an online dialogue about their writing, using good etiquette and staying on the appropriate topic.

Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Ask the students the following opening questions: What is a dialogue? How do would you describe a productive dialogue during a writing conference?
  • Lead the students in a class discussion and if needed, explain to the students that a dialogue is communication between two individuals, usually in the form of a spoken conversation. Tell the students that etiquette is the polite behavior of individuals who are interacting with each other. Explain that most of the time we think of etiquette as a person’s polite behavior, but online etiquette (as expressed through published text online) is just as important.
  • Tell the students that they will be learning more about the best way to communicate, when participating in writing conferences online.
