The Writing Round-Up {7.27.19}


Welcome to the July 27, 2019 edition of The Teach Write Writing Round-Up, a gathering of tips for teaching writing and for growing as a teacher who writes.

I find the tips so you don't have to, so be sure to sign up to have The Writing Round-Up and all of our other updates delivered right to your inbox if you haven't already.

Now, on to this week's tips!

Assistive Technology for Writing:

Don't let your students' physical struggles with writing keep them from writing. Check out these assistive technologies from Understood.org to help.

Getting Your Writing Done:

Jeff Goins shares some helpful tips in "How to Really Get Your Writing Done." I have found his 3-Bucket System very helpful in my own writing life and can see the classroom applications of this writing organizational system.

Modeling Risk-Taking:

Students write better when they have a teacher who models risk-taking with their own writing, as explained in "How Telling My Students My Most Difficult Writing Story Made Me a Better Writing Teacher" from David Rockower and EdWeek.
