Case: A Case of Writer's Block and then some...
Mrs. B is a third grade teacher. She is the inclusion teacher and is self-contained. She has 18 students with 6 students being SPED students. Writing is a huge initiative at her school this year and she is ready to jump on the task. Each day at writing time, her six SPED students struggle to write. She has them sit at the back table and assists them in a small group, she showed them how to use a graphic organizer to organize their ideas, etc Despite these many efforts, Mrs. B's students still struggle to write. How can Mrs. B help these students become better writers?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that one approach Mrs. B could take would be to ask students to discuss the topic before they start to write about it. Many students do not have any trouble talking about topics and I think a classroom discussion about the activity would be very beneficial. During the class discussion, get the students to write down key points other students make in hopes they can use it as a resource during their writing. Teach them the art of rewording to get them initiating their writing. |

Comments: As a student who always had trouble expressing my ideas on to paper I find that discussing the topic beforehand would be very beneficial in organizing thougts onto paper. |
