Writing volume, struggling writers, writing engagement, writing structure and more can all be affected by the paper that students are using to write.

So yes, this episode is all about paper!

We will explore:

  • how paper makes writing more authentic
  • the benefits of writers making "picture books"
  • how paper choices communicate importance and expectations
  • getting started with more authentic paper choices

This simple change will make a HUGE impact on writing in your classroom!
