A good writing teacher should help students to enjoy putting their ideas down. Here are some suggestions:

  • Focus less on spelling and punctuation at first -- the details can be fixed later!
  • Encourage students to brainstorm together so they can see how writers come up with ideas
  • Encourage students to keep an idea notebook that they carry everywhere
  • Find something to praise in every piece (even if you have to say something like "I like how all your lines are even and well-printed")
