Writing is always a difficult task for many of my English Learners as they are transitioning into applying the English language to writing. Many of them become frustrated, as they lack the organizational skills and motivation to write. However, I want to spark a change in the way they view writing. I want my students to create stories that are relevant and interesting to them, while developing lifelong writing skills. Organization and practice is essential in creating a risk-free environment where kids can apply their skills in a non-threatening way. These materials will be used to motivate my students to enjoy writing and foster a creative environment where they can learn and use their imaginations.
