Lesson Idea: Students as Authors

What ways can our students write and report information?


Electronic Story Planning: Students can use these apps to create writing samples that can be easily edited and shared. 

Writing Prompts:

  • Write an alternate ending to a story
  • Recreate a scene from a different character's perspective
  • Report on non-fiction information from multiple sources




Online Discussion Boards: Using this format, students can respond to their peer's thoughts where their work can be viewed by all in the learning community. The teacher can track connections and responses to encourage students to ask questions and be critical of their peers ideas.

Discussion Topics:

  • How can we make our classroom more supportive of our learning needs?
  • What would you change about our school community?
  • If you could add any topic to our curriculum, what would it be?
  • How do you feel about (community problem)?
  • How does it make you feel when you are challenged by your peers?
