Encourage students as they follow the writing process to explore anything from simple sentences to five-paragraph essays. These scrapbook pages can support writing exercises in all major subject areas and current events. The students may be prompted to explore any genre to express ideas. Older students can explore library resources to develop research-based writing. Second language learners can relate to given themes to develop writing skills. Through creative writing, the teacher can develop a unique classroom library featuring students as authors.
