  Case: Writting
In writing classes, students are sometimes slow to come up with ideas for what to write about.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a lesson about planning which would include how to brainstorm. This would consist of creating a concept map diagram. Show students to just write down whatever ideas come to mind when they think of the topic and then to stem off from that. Often, students tell you they dont have an idea, then you ask them why they chose what they did to write about and they explain it perfectly. They're just lazy or don't realize that they know exactly what to write about, because they're afraid of being wrong.
