Instructional Ideas

  • For early writers, have scholars dictate their thoughts while you, or an aide, write it in highlighter, then have the scholars trace over the words in pencil
  • Instead of writing only about their mom, invite learners to write what they think, in general, what makes a great mom
  • Complete this writing assignment near Mother's Day as part of a gift they can take home

Classroom Considerations

  • Consider the home life that makes up your classroom's population. Take into account the different kinds of families and the feelings learners may have about this writing topic

Pros

  • Lines are provided to aid in neat writing 

Cons

  • None
