Good models are a must. Saving samples from previous students works well-the former students love feeling important and the new writers feel like they have a real connection to another student. Thank you for the giveaway. :)Purple Palmettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08058321073503030748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-65727468673814755582015-11-29T20:02:22.419-08:002015-11-29T20:02:22.419-08:00Truth: I am terrible at teaching writing.

I might choose the type of writing, but give them options for the audience and then leave the specific topic up to them.

Modeling is what I'm hoping that I can incorporate more into my lessons but I came across a new book called 59 Reasons to write by Kate Messner and in it there are a lot of really great ideas on having morning warm ups as well as incorporating story writing with your students. This really hits home because as a Grade 6 student, I remember my teacher doing this with us and I still treasure this more than one can imagine! <br />Lisa's ESL Sitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679590354750814417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-33166903548266072272015-11-29T17:46:23.883-08:002015-11-29T17:46:23.883-08:00I love teaching writing and your program looks lik...I love teaching writing and your program looks like a great support for my mini lessons!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140893242774436562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-52205822450159785672015-11-29T17:07:16.934-08:002015-11-29T17:07:16.934-08:00I am struggling with this - trying to fit it all i...I am struggling with this - trying to fit it all in!
