I am so proud of my students' growth in writing this semester. Like reading, learning to write well takes a lot of practice. We are writing narrative and persuasive essays right now, and my students are having a lot of fun choosing their topic and writing from their heart. I provide word lists for using different transitions and stronger verbs and adjectives. For some students who are learning English, I provide supports such as word banks and sentence frames. My goal is to encourage and support my students and to do it in such a way that they end up loving to write!
