You ask your students to write, and they don’t have the confidence to jump right in. They have ideas, but they’re not sure how to start, how to build a sentence or paragraph. They’re just know sure how to put their thoughts together in the target language.
So, what’s issue? Many learners want to write, but they lack the structure and support to do so with confidence. Without guidance, their writing stays overly simple, or never gets started at all.
This 30-minute PD course, for the small price of $10, will show you how to use sentence frames and writing scaffolds to boost both confidence and accuracy. You’ll learn how to:
- Identify when and how to use sentence frames without limiting creativity
- Create leveled scaffolds that support grammar, vocabulary, and syntax
- Encourage meaningful expression while building writing fluency
- Gradually reduce support to develop student independence over time
- Use student writing as a feedback loop to inform future scaffolds and instruction
This is a practical, no-fluff course led by me, Joshua Cabral, host of the World Language Classroom Podcast. I will help you bring structure to student writing without taking away their voice.
By the end of this course, you’ll feel confident designing writing tasks that provide just enough support to help your students take risks, grow in proficiency, and write with purpose and accuracy.
