My Project

Students struggle with using the basics of writing and grammar. There are many times that students are lost in how to get started or even with an idea of what to write. The prospect of writing the same things over and over again stall the writing process.

Using the graphic organizer white boards instead of regular paper and pencil will let students brainstorms with flexibility, make changes instantly, and feel success all while learning the process of writing.

In addition, daily practice with sentence editing will aid students in taking ownership over the basis conventions of writing, thus improving their writing.
