Below you will find a list of all the strategies and tools that you learned in this class. I will also be adding new strategies periodically, many of which will support the integration of writing instruction into your lessons.

Each strategy or tool has a link to an online resource or an uploaded file attached to it. Many have blank templates that you can print out, which is great, but I always encourage you to modify a strategy or tool to make it work best for you and your students. Good luck! =**IN PROGRESS.....**=
