How and Why to Use Scaffolding Worksheets in the Creative.
How scaffolding works. The kind of support and scaffold that the teacher provides is crucial to the educational success of the learner.

Scaffolding basically involves laying out the individual elements of an essay one by one so that you can see exactly what you need to include. Throughout high school you probably filled out a scaffold or two for different class tasks and assignments.
Scaffolding a “Strong” Thesis Statement and Grammar for the Essay.

Argument, debate, discussion, disagreement--most teachers would agree that these skills fall well within their students' repertoire. Students are frequently energized and excited by arguments and will voluntarily elaborate on and defend their ideas. Yet put these same students to the task of writing a persuasive essay and much of that eloquence is lost in translation.
