Help! My students are currently working on writing magazine articles about the topic of their choice. They are really into this because they are responsible for writing the article and formatting it as well. I am noticing that while the student’s work is very organized with good topic sentences and supporting details, as a whole, their articles are very bland making it almost painful to read at times. Does anyone have any suggestions or mini-lessons focusing on the author’s voice? I have tried to give them various models of the purpose and importance of voice in writing, but many of them are not taking any risks in their writing. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
