Engaging the "Reluctant Writer"

Writing can be a hands on experience too!  You can stimulate the student's thinking by giving them a tangible object to use as a writing topic.  This can also be a homework activity where students bring in and write about an object that is significant to their history.  Gloria Rockhold brought an object that represents her family's history.  My students really enjoyed learning about her cultural background.  She is bilingual, and this is always a plus.  Check out the kid-friendly template I created.
