Ok, I admit it, I HATE teaching writing and have NO IDEA how
to do it! This is my 2nd year as a teacher. I have done ALL
the reading (Fountis and Pinnell and all the other

writing class? Should I just let them free write, turn it
in after they've edited and revised, correct it for them,
and let them rewrite? Should we do more prompt writing? I"m

I teach middle school, but what I do with my special ed kids
will probably work well with your students.
First of all, I focus a lot on pre-write charts. That way
the thinking is more organized. After that, I give the
special ed kids a "fill-in-the-blank" sheet to write their
paper. (Basically, it h...See More
