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!) Including writing in all subjects taught is a good course of action. Building writing fluency can be done in many ways. Lesson activators and summarizes are great ways to have students write. Modeling and scaffolding are also good ways to ensure that students are learning the writing process. I often utilize graphic organizers for high school students when they write.
