Tips for Using a Writing Checklist
- Be sure grammar skills are taught along with it
- No vagueness—coding, check boxes, etc
- Samples of each task
- Call them what they are for older students (specific opener types, adjectives Vs describers etc.)
- Do it with the student for first few papers
- Start out slowly (a few tasks at a time)
- Help student create final with changes in it.
You can do these with or without my free lesson or purchased lessons!
