  • Writing

    While working as a literature coach especially, I had to assess my students writing skills and challenge them to improve through an interactive book report. In this way, the students could improve their writing through their own creative, unique and imaginative way. I also had to improve my students writing as a teacher, however, in this case, the children had a set way of doing it and were able to improve.
