Chapter 8 - Organize for Daily Writing

Those who write every day in a regular planned writing session produce about twice the volume and twice the number of ideas as writers who write when they feel like it.

Provide more choice within meaning ful structure.

Pre-writing - generate, plan and organize ideas with the purpose of producing effective writing.

Do more freewrites.

Limit the use of graphic organizers. (Don't spend too much time before writing on this)

Have more conversations about writing.

Establish daily routines and model expected behavior.
