Case: Make it realistic even though it is not real
Mrs. Brown gave her 8th grade students the following writing prompt from the released Ga Writing Test Prompts:
Writing Situation
The cafeteria manager in your school has noticed that many students throw away most of their lunches. She is concerned about this problem and would like to make changes in the menu based on what teenagers like to eat.
Directions for Writing
Decide how you would change the menu. Write a letter to the cafeteria manager to convince her that your changes will appeal to the teenagers in the school and reduce lunchroom waste.
The student cannot understand how to write on this prompt because he likes the lunchroom food. The teacher has walked him through the prompt and has explained that sometimes when we can't relate to a prompt, we have to make something up. This still confuses the student. Can you offer any suggestions to Mrs. Brown?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask the student if any of his friends don't like the food. It is often hard for students to think outside of themselves, but if they are able to make a connection to a peer it often makes the abstract concept more concrete. If the student's friends don't like the food, then ask him what they do like to eat, and have him work off of that knowledge. |
