28. 5 Distracting Behaviors During Writing Workshop and What to Do About Them

Teaching writing is so hard! There are many reasons why, but one of the main reasons is distracting student behavior! With a plan in place, your ability to handle the distracting student behavior can improve.No matter what though, it is important to realize that students are people who don’t necessarily value what you, the teacher, values. For most students, writing is just not a priority. So, it’s our job to approach students positively, to convince them of the value of writing and support them in finding ways to focus.Not every strategy works for every student. My advice is to try one strategy and if that doesn’t work, try another and then another.
