In My Classroom Activity 2

For this activity, I tried to take on the approach of recognizing that students will have to participate in writing on demand. To ease the anxiety of that, I created a place for students to map their ideas for a paper. This, of course, would have to be preceded by mini-lessons on thesis statements and supporting evidence, but the idea behind this handout is to give students a place to organize their thoughts BEFORE they frantically start to write and end up nowhere. It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a practical one.
