Creative Writing

I love writing, and my students this year have really enjoyed being able to express themselves through different forms of writing. My students have been allowed to present information to me in various forms. It shows me that they understand the concepts and can create a product for me that teaches me about what they have learned. My students are allowed to write an essay, create a comic strip, draw pictures that explain their ideas, and present it verbally through a speech or role play. This gives them the opportunity to focus on what they are learning not how they will show me. This strategy reaches their multiple intelligences that they are most confident in displaying.
