  Case: Elaborating in writing
In Mrs. Reynolds' 4th grade class she has been teaching the writing process, and the basic structure of how to write an essay. 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!)
She can provide the students with a teacher made graphic organizer that provides enough spaces with the set up to how she would like their writing to be. She could also use a strategy such as UNRAVEL to teach the students how to pull out information from the text where they can easily pull the information from the text. She can provide multiple sentence frames with topic students of how to introduce their writing.
