In our second block English 8 class, we have seven students with disabilities. One student becomes overwhelmed easily, and she will need assignments reduced. We have several students who struggle with staying on task. We have been studying essay writing vigorously in this class, and Mrs. Hodges and myself implemented the concept diagram to reinforce the written expression/composition expectations of an essay. During the co-construction phase, students were engaged and making meaningful connections. The following days, students were still able to recall essential characteristics of the concept diagram which was very exciting for Mrs. Hodges and myself. Mrs. Hodges and I will be using the concept diagram this week to reinforce the usage/mechanics expectations of essay writing.
