Getting Students to Write! Helping Elementary and Middle School teachers transform writing time

Episode 92 Writing Strategies Series: Volume


Listen Later

I recently had a teacher I am coaching say, "That's going to be hard for me," when we discussed allowing students to try multiple drafts on different topics for their informational books.

I completely understand why this fabulous teacher was hesitant...and there are so many reasons!
