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 talking privately to the student and getting to the bottom of the issue will prove to be the fix. If you can find out why he doesn't want to write then you be able to change that. |
