Beyond the Paragraph: Teaching Writing in Middle School with Structure

Structured Writing: A Better Way to Teach Writing Ep 1


Listen Later

In this first episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why traditional writing instruction isn’t working and what you can do instead. I’ll walk you through the simple shift I made that completely transformed my classroom (and made teaching writing way more fun for everyone involved).

I’m sharing:

  • Why most students sound like robots when they write (and how to fix it)

  • What “structured writing” really means

  • What to expect from this podcast and how it can support you all year long

If you want to dive into the 10-video FULL training on The Structured Writer’s Workshop, go HERE.

Whether you teach in a classroom or homeschool around the kitchen table, I hope this episode gives you a sigh of relief and a spark of inspiration.

Let’s rethink how we teach writing. I’ll show you how.
