The use of whiteboards in my classroom is an almost daily activity. We use them to brainstorm, create timelines, break down writing projects and collaborate on projects in small and large learning groups. From the beginning of the year to the end, I can instantly see if a student has a grasp of the concepts we are discussing. For writing, we break up formal essays into smaller puzzle pieces that we practice again and again. Donations to this project will help my students increase their understanding of effective and clear communication in writing. I already have a home for these supplies and I just need a new set to start my students off on the "write" foot this year. By using the whiteboards​ to structure the writing on the white boards they become more comfortable editing and changing their writing at a low stake level. By the time we complete a writing assignment at a high stakes testing level, they have completed many many practice runs and have fewer problems putting it into a final assessment to be formally graded.
