Struggling with writing a thesis can be an incredibly daunting task.

From formulating a research


question to conducting thorough literature reviews and presenting cohesive arguments, the process
can be overwhelming for many students. It requires not only extensive research skills but also strong
writing abilities and critical thinking.

The journey of crafting a thesis involves numerous challenges. Many students find it difficult to even
begin the process due to a lack of clarity on their research topic or uncertainty about the direction of
their study. Additionally, managing time effectively to balance research, analysis, and writing can be
a significant hurdle, especially for those juggling other academic or personal responsibilities.

Moreover, the pressure to produce original and impactful work adds another layer of complexity.
Striving to make meaningful contributions to their field while meeting the academic standards set by
their institutions can be a stressful endeavor.

However, I leave blanks for students to fill in details from research. Creating something from
nothing always requires us to stretch ourselves, and with that stretching comes growing pains. For
instance, when given a debatable topic, most students are capable of writing their opinion on said
topic. Finally, students revise and publish their pages in the style of the framing text, create a
bibliography, and compile the pages into a class book. Try some of these tips for supporting
struggling writers and get your students excited about your writing block! 1. As I slumped over my

and conclusion part in this part of your research paper. Instead, we can think about slowing down in
terms of opening up opportunities for incorporating a variety of effective instructional strategies. Ask
students to suggest how the details on the chart or board can be organized to provide a guide for the

writing productivity. Writing Mentor uses natural language processing (NLP) methods and resources
to generate feedback in terms of features that research into post-secondary struggling writers has
classified as developmental (Burstein et al., 2016b). These features span many writing sub-
constructs (use of sources, claims, and evidence; topic development; coherence; and knowledge of
English conventions). The App also offers a typewriter mode and other features to tailor the writing
experience to the writer’s likes and dislikes. Standards Log in to see state-specific standards (only

Developmental Edit; In the first edit, you use your eyes only by focusing on your paper and asking
yourself if that's the best you can write and if it makes any sense. Try to color code your notes and

work with the same writing partner throughout a unit, so they become familiar with their peer’s story
and can offer suggestions for adding details. 2. Choice: Too much or not enough. It should include a
contextual material and relevant background. If a state does not appear in the drop-down, standard
alignments are not currently available for that state. Teachers can have fun with this app and recreate
a coffee shop within the classroom. Allow them to revise their early drafts without penalty if they
can both show you and verbally explain to you what they learned from their revision process. The
writer can opt for positive rewards such as kittens and purring sounds, or the writer can choose
stimulus sounds (basically background noises) that help the writer focus. A writer can enter a vague
or cliche word or phrase, and the app will provide more vivid options to “spice” up the tone, diction,
and originality of a piece of writing. Still, I’ve taught remedial writing classes long enough to
understand that when struggling writers are given too much freedom, many of them become
paralyzed. To organize your best research paper writing, follow the below mentioned points:-. Just fill

a particular story from Smith's book (e.g., Languages or Religion). My Labeling for Emergent Writers
is perfect for this because kids get to pick what they want to label. Wordless books may also be great
for kids to write a story about. 3. Special Tools Who doesn’t love a fancy gel or flair pen.
Give students 10 to 15 minutes to compile a list of guiding questions. They live up to the minimal
goals they have developed and own the pessimistic self-images projected both by themselves and
others. Sometimes, it also contains arguments that are based on any thesis with significant evidences
from a wide variety of reliable sources. Because reading the draft immediately won't help, and you
will miss some mistakes. 7. Write the Bibliography - You have all you need to write in your research
paper on the assigned book, but still, you have to organize your sources on the last page. Have
students tape their story page in the center of the chart paper. Save the lists so that you return to
them in the following session. It will be “too hard,” “too frustrating,” “too time-consuming,” “too

steps. 6. Proofread the Draft - It's time to revise that draft you got since it may be disorganized and
needs to have the perfect flow. Then, model how you would revise using think alouds. I had a
conference with the parents of these students, and those parents enthusiastically agreed to help and
support their child with this initiative. With my struggling writers, I celebrate success when we write
a single sentence eloquently. You always need to take the best and the mot important points from all

back to that time in Mrs. Baker’s 10th grade ELA class when they had to explain the symbolism of
the green light in Gatsby—only to receive back an essay with more red ink than black ink. Research
paper writing involves picking a broad subject, doing some content research related to it, and then
writing it. Honestly, I loved those kids, but I had no idea how to teach or assess their writing. I’ve
learned that students who have low self-confidence benefit from scaffolding and differentiation. But
if you undergo enough research, study, analysis and practice, then it is definitely an easy task for
you. Their essays were huge paragraphs that spanned multiple pages, yet there wasn’t a period in
sight. You can consult the sample for Megan McDonald's My House Has Stars to guide the
brainstorming. Finally, I give them a worksheet I have created that already contains the topic
sentence (which I also call the thesis statement for a single paragraph) and the supporting arguments.
They just love coming up with conversations for the pictures in my Adding Dialogue pack and
adding “sound words” in my Onomatopoeia pack. Unless someone is a bookworm, it isn't a walk in
the park, more so when it involves writing a research paper on a book you have to read. Finally,
students revise and publish their pages in the style of the framing text, create a bibliography, and
compile the pages into a class book.
As is the case frequently with newbies, I was given the low-achieving, at-risk students. Had I asked
students to write a paragraph that would be assessed based on correct period placement, the final
product they submitted would have been more polished, and the grading experience would have
been more enjoyable (not to mention quicker). Whether you have a white board, a chalkboard, or a
smart board, make sure to take time to write together. Please include all your sources on the

quotes by the author that you will use in your paragraphs. Julie Brinckloe’s Fireflies is one of my
favorite mentor texts for narrative writing! 11. Be sure to share the rubric with students early in the

pacing. You’ll have students at all different writing stages and what comes easy to some may be
extremely difficult for others. On the other hand, it is good to avoid analytical and technical subjects
that tend to push someone to a corner and make it hard to write a research paper. I have some writers
who struggle to keep up when I model things on the bored. When teaching writing to a group of
frustrated or struggling students, it’s always a best-practice to focus on a specific group of skills
rather than to use a rubric that demands mastery of all writing concepts at the same time. Because
reading and writing are the perfect literacy companions, struggling writers will also benefit from
reading every day. Your organizational structure provides the support they really need. It can be
supported by research evidence in the assigned book. 3. Read that Book - Once you have
accomplished the above steps, you are now ready to start reading that book to get some ideas on
what it's all about. I put together a very simple packet, that they now work on as part of their nightly
homework. If I’m assessing a student’s writing ability, I need to see a sample of their writing. Some
get frustrated when they don’t get to, but of course there’s just not enough time for all to share.
With each skill my students complete successfully, they slowly begin to develop a more positive
