Listen "Why Fun Writing Prompts Do Not = Engagement Ep. 20"
Episode Synopsis
Sure, writing prompts are fun, but when it comes to true engagement, cute activities and digital games can only take your students so far. In this episode, I break down why short-term motivators are the “green tea diets” of writing instruction, and how to build something more sustainable. Learn what actually keeps students hooked all year long: ownership, structure, student leadership, and a workshop that feels like home. Happy writing,RobinThoughts? Questions?
