Ideas for Teachers from Teachers How do you teach young writers to brainstorm quality reasons before writing?
What are the three most important reasons that Alexander is having a bad day? I ask that question about Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and let the students talk before we start playing the Top Three Game at WritingFix. They have different answers, which is good, I say...just as long as they explain a very good reason for their choices. The same type of reasoning needs to be encouraged to get students to develop the best ideas for this writing assignment.
