Case: Why Wont Will Write?
I have a 9th grade student, lets call him Will. Will won't write. He is very intelligent, creative and a strong leader. He reads at a high level than anyone in the classroom. He is always asking questions and participating in class discussions, showing a deeper understanding and thought process than many of my other students. He even seems to be maturing at a faster rate than the others, doing away with childish behaviors and showing more and more self control. However, when given a writing assignment, he just sits. He understands the prompt, we will talk one on one and develop a plan of action, but then when I walk away, he is content just sitting and waiting away the allotted time staring at the ceiling. I have even allowed him to dictate some the content and then asked him to continue on without me, but he doesn't. I have set up a reward system for him, I have punished him, I have called home, I have written an office referral (for refusing to do assignment), I have ignored him and I have tried to give him extra attention. Nothing seems to be working. What should I do to win Will over and warrant wonderfully written work?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that there must be a reason that Will won't write. Having a personal conference with him and talking one on one may work. If there is a specific reason why he won't write, it can be targeted and fixed. |

Comments: A talk with Will and the teacher could be very beneficial. |
