Writing Can Be Fun and Engaging!!
Students in English 2 read a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts, and are expected to complete numerous writing assignments to demonstrate their learning. However, writing tasks do not have to be the traditional, mundane, write-an-essay-and-let-the-teacher-tell-you-what-you-did-wrong writing assignment. I find that allowing students to express their creativity while analyzing and generating texts actually improves their ability to think deeply and meaningfully about a work and be engaged in the task. On this page are multiple examples of differentiated writing assignments my students completed this year.
