  Case: Writing Instruction
In Mrs. Brown's second grade class, there are a lot of students who do not understand the basic foundations of writing. Students struggle with complete sentences, and creating a story based on state standards. Mrs. Brown teaches a majority of reading and math small groups throughout the day, with content mini-lessons build in for whole group. How much time should Mrs. Brown devote to teaching the writing process, when reading and math are being taught during small groups?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
To devote your time to teaching your students the writing process, have your reading lessons make connections to whatever you are trying to write. Even if you have to have your students compare texts, write a summary about a particular story they read for the week etc. This will help the students to understand that writing has a process that they must follow. For example,one day in small group they can do pre-writing, then the next day they can start their first draft etc. Each day can be broken down into smaller steps in order for them to learn the writing process, and fully understand it.

Comments: Having a writing assessment I believe will greatly benefit the students, they have to have a purpose behind why they are writing and what to write about

Comments: I really like this solution and think it would be really helpful to the teacher and the students in this situation. I think having them relate their writing to a story they recently read would make it more fun for them and I like the idea of building on their writing skills by doing a step each day to show them how the writing process goes.
