![]() If your students are anything like mine, they often get in a habit of writing in a certain style, where their writing almost becomes formulaic. Or perhaps you have students that may have some great ideas for the body of their essay, but the introduction or conclusion are lacking a certain "je ne sais quoi". Enter stage left: 'Grab a quote' lesson! This lesson stemmed from a few different resources and clashing of ideas that constantly pop around in my brain. We are always looking for ways to help our students write engaging, interesting essays that readers simply don't want to put down. We also want to give our students a plethora of strategies and crafts to use so that they can put into place what works for their topic, their essay, and their style as an author. As is often said, "to each his own". (Get what I did there?? Hehe.) So, as can be seen in this super quick and easy flow chart I created via lucidchart, there were multiple factors involved in my brainstorming session. I'll give the detailed version of the steps taken that I believe made this lesson successful, as well as ways that I will adjust in the future. Because I'm a "boxes and bullets" kind of gal, that's how I'll take you through the steps of this lesson. ![]() Set Students Up for Success
