In this video, Max Brand confers individually with two different boys in this fifth grade classroom, one during writer's workshop, the other during reading workshop.

About the author: Max became a teacher because he loves to learn and teaching gives him the chance to learn a ton every day. "Each day is a new experience. No matter what you plan for, the kids take ownership and extend thinking/understanding to fantastic heights."

During professional development workshops, he tries to put participants in situations that inspire feelings kids might experience.
