These students are deep in thought, either drafting or revising their work after a peer content conference. At least four content conferences were going on in the room at the same time. The facilitators, Moses Gbondo and Kandeh Conteh, demonstrated well how content conferencing can be carried out in a crowded classroom where other people are at other stages in the writing process, with minimal movement, by simply having students turn around on their benches to face the students behind them.
Because this is a new club, no one has reached the self-, peer-, or teacher-editing stage yet. We have great expectations for the Young Writers at Sussex JSS!
At the end of the meeting, the students clapped and asked to take pictures of of their teachers with their certificates from the Leading Young Writers training that SELI conducted in August.
