Students are asked to write 1-2 paragraphs about the process and finished product.Questions, provided by teachers, will be used to help students get started if they feel they don’t know what to write about. Questions start out specific to give students a topic to focus on, then they become more general to encourage students to think and write about more elaborate thoughts.

Research shows that students exposed to a second language acquisition program perform better in both reading and writing tasks in their target language.If small group discussions are used, then students’ ability to put their feelings into writing will increase.If students engage in reflection, then it allows them to increase self-evaluation and be able to better put their feelings into words.If students write regularly, then they will learn more art and/or music vocabulary, and gain greater awareness of their own performance and/or personal contribution to the ensemble. If students write regularly, then they will have more experience supporting their choices through citing examples; which in turn, should increase confidence in their own writing.If math teachers provide additional practice and instruction to students with disabilities, English Learner students, and economically disadvantaged students, then their milestone scores will increase to proficient or above.If Computer Literacy and Engineering and Technology students attend to precision, model with mathematics, make use of structure, and reason abstractly to complete contextual math problems at least once a week, then they will gain a deeper level of understanding of how the math really works and how it can and will be used in real-life.
