11th Grade Creative Writing
This was by far one of my son's least favorite subjects. Writing and typing come very hard to my dear son. Everything is difficult about it, from the thought process to the spelling to the cramps it gives his hands to write anything more than a sentence. However, it is important to be able to put your thoughts to paper. Listed below are some of the ways we found to help him express himself through writing. - Writing thank you notes
- Small reports of famous people: Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Alexander Hamilton, and Jack the Ripper
- Emailing friends
- Filling out surveys for his volunteer work
- Mini reports for Government and World History
- 5 book reports
- 8 Today in My Life reports
- Maintaining his blog
He also completed the Apples to Apples Spelling and Handwriting without Tears - Cursive with his occupational therapist. Blessings, Dawn
Great ideas. Can you tell more about the Life reports. That sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteWriting is a struggle here too - and I'm just not good about getting it done either. Thanks for sharing what y'all have done. You have done well!
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate your blog because we seem to have many of the same situations and experiences. JJ struggles so much with writing, too. He breaks pencils because his grip is so tense. We're hoping to start OT again soon, and I have HWOT on its way. He has great ideas but doesn't have a way to convey them except through me. I like your ideas for incorporating writing and typing.
