"I don't know what to write about!" is what is heard in classrooms all over.
In this episode, Melissa emphasizes the importance of supporting students in having the independence to generate their own ideas for writing.
She discusses the negative impacts of consistently providing students with topics and offers practical strategies to help students generate ideas on their own. When students are involved in creating their own topics, their engagement is increased.
Highlighting the significance of understanding the purpose behind different types of writing, Melissa provides techniques such as:
- using emotions
- studying the world around them
- making lists of their most important things in life
- asking big questions
- and taking inspiration from reading
This is such an important episode for all writing teachers from Kindergarten to High School!
