You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.... You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

Peer Conferencing

I really enjoyed getting to peer conference with our books. It brought back memories of doing this from upper elementary on. I really like that it puts a new set of eyes onto reading and evaluating the paper and in a lot of cases by doing it with peers might be about a subject that the reader could relate to the author. The only dislikes and causes for concerns I could see would be if the narrative is about something that is every emotional for the author or with children any type of subject that might single them out among their peers. Other than that, I can see this method being used at just about any age level just with modifications and extensions as skill levels vary.
