I am constantly looking for ways to get students excited about writing. I follow a program that the school wants the teachers to use on a weekly basis. I like the program and I can see growth in their writing abilities, although I would like to add some additional ideas on how to get my class excited about writing.
It just might be this class, this year, but they complain every time I assign their weekly paragraph. I do not think that the assignment is challenging, it is simply requiring the students to write. That right there is a task in itself. So I love when I get good article to read and pull ideas from. I would suggest it to others, it is a good read and may help your students like reading a little more.
Writing workshop is a great way to help students improve their writing skills! My school uses it all of the time. Maybe you can look at the topics they are writing about...or maybe they could type it? I know my kids get really excited when they know they can use the computer.
