This is the first time I have seen a writing strategy that I can use as a new math teacher. In particular the activities of writing lists, writing homework, labeling, and keeping a notebook. I had not considered these activities as "approachable" writing activities for my ELL students. Also, the writer's workshop model can be easily combined with the Cornell Notes model I will use in my classroom. Thank you for the many writing activities that I can teach my math students to help them succeed.
