The list making writing strategy helps students to generate topic ideas quickly. By keeping a section in their writing journal for list making, students will always have topics to write about throughout the school year.

In this podcast, I'll be explaining:

• when I use this writing strategy - at least 1-2X per week as a bellringer
• reasons for using it
• the need for modeling the strategy often
• how to keep students accountable through assessment and conferencing
• actionable steps after list making
