Archerisms & Bonus Strategies

 * //Don't just accommodate, liberate!// [Teach the skill. Use the scaffold initially, but gradually fade the scaffolding to independence.]
 * //Pencils in the air!// [Have students do this when you are giving them writing instructions.]
 * //Look and copy.// [When words are displayed, expect students to spell them correctly. Teach them this strategy.]
 * //Model writing as a systematic process with flexibility.//
 * //If I do not hold you accountable, middle school students think it's optional.//
