Writing With A Personal Connection

Follow-up to yesterday’s post: here’s a writing project idea for your students. This idea relates to providing a ‘Personal connection with the Curriculum’. Request a picture or item from home that relates to a home event or story about a student, and the story details to go with it. In the “Handouts” section I’ve added something you can send home called “Memories from Home”. This would make a nice long-term (or short term) writing project for students.

In my next post I’ll talk about ways to adjust learning activities to address various levels of the thinking & learning processes, from lower order thinking to higher order thinking.
