The Writing Fix is a great resource that teachers can reference and use in the classroom. Its tag-line is that it has “lessons, ideas, and resources to “fix” educators who don’t enjoy teaching writing.” I know that writing is not my favorite subject to teach, so looking through some of the ideas was really helpful and motivating for me.
The menu on the left side of the page is overwhelming at first because of the amount of resources that you could be linked to. I recommend taking some time each day to look through the resources because there are really so many helpful links to look through. They even have a page for new users to look through. This First Time Visitor page explains who they are and how to navigate their site. There are writing prompts, information on 6 Trait writing, Writer’s Workshop ideas and scrapbooks for every level, and ideas on how to incorporate writing throughout the curriculum. There are links to books, in-service ideas and presenters, and mentor text lessons. I cannot stress how much information is on this website. Please take a moment and look through the site. You will not regret it, and your students will love your new ideas!
