One area my students struggle the most with is their written voice. They love to express themselves, but oftentimes encounter difficulty when trying to translate their imagination to paper. I have several ELL students who need to first cement their skills in phonics before moving on to writing. The phonics station is where they will benefit the most because it allows us to hone in on what specific skills we need to teach and build on.
When we do centers, my students do well with worksheets, but word work and short topic writing are a struggle. Each of these stations will make it possible for my students to see the deconstruction of the writing process, learn each step, and put it back together in a more cohesive and tangible way. More specifically, the 'Make your point!' opinion writing station, which is geared to teaching students how to spot author purpose within a text and how to exactly state an opinion with authority and fact. This is our entire goal, to give them a voice and a way to rebut and interject situations requiring or asking for their opinion. I want them to not just have an opinion, but to be able to state how and why they feel the way they do.
