"Let me be the teacher"

Children love to teach us about topics that they are know well and are interested in. Provide students with an opportunity to write about a topic they already have a lot of knowledge about.

Forget about conventional correctness

Choosing to let students write without being concerned with correct capitalization, usage, punctuation, and spelling can yield great results. Guide students to write freely and worry about accuracy later.
