Quick+Write


 * Quick/Free Write Strategy **

The purpose of this SDAIE strategy is to get the students comfortable with writing. The students will not be graded on their grammatical skills, instead they will graded on their thought process. This activity can be used at the beginning of the day, before and after a lesson, or at the end of the day for 5 to 10 minutes.

Benefits and Uses:
 * Can be used to brain storm ideas
 * The teacher may or may not give a prompt
 * Ideas can be refined later for further use
 * Will build a student’s writing confidence
 * For versatility, students can draw instead of writing

Writing prompts may include:
 * This weekend I…
 * My favorite vacation was…
 * My favorite after school activity is…
 * Draw a picture about what you did today…
