You're working on personal narratives.
Your student has chosen an idea.
They can tell you all about it.
They give you some details - some relevant, some not.
Then you say, "Let's start planning our piece."
Maybe you give them a graphic organizer.
Maybe you don't.
Either way, nothing happens.
They just stare.
All those ideas they had? Gone, when they are faced by their nemesis: the blank page.
They're just stuck!
So how do you get them unstuck?
This easy, hands-on strategy is perfect for helping kids plan and get their ideas on paper, in a logical order.
All you need is a pencil and sticky notes! (You can try it, too - just follow along with the video and get planning!)
Check out the video below, and follow me on YouTube for more videos like this one!
I promise it'll get your kids organized and ready to draft.
