Her class is learning how to read an article, and write an essay that asks them to pull information from the article in their writings. How can Mrs. Reynolds' help her students to find a way to start their essay and use text evidence to support their topic if they do not understand? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I suggest using a document, possibly a graphic organizer, to help students develop the basic structure of a paper. I have also found that modeling is a very useful practice when teaching student how to write in an organized way. Modeling can take up a significant amount of class time, but it is very helpful.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would use this solution in my classroom, modeling does take time but could be beneficial.
