Mimicking Isn’t Thinking: Putting Thinking Back in Writing Instruction

Students emerged from Covid classrooms, but not unscathed. More than ever, they were not engaging in their own learning. Our course team decided we couldn't keep lamenting the fact that our tried-and-true approaches weren't working anymore; we needed to adapt to teach the students in front of us now. Inspired by a book for math teachers on getting kids to think, we adapted our own approach to writing instruction.
