Description
In this module, you will learn how to teach students effective brainstorming techniques by developing a graphic organizer, prepare paragraphs with meaning and clarity, and edit work samples using a color-coded system. In addition, students will learn to work independently through transitions when using a visual “stoplight” aid. Teachers can focus on students’ individual writing and learning styles while having time to make any necessary accommodations along the way.
