What Lists Look Like
Most students come with a reasonably straightforward list. They may need support finding more story starters, but at least it’s organized and easy to work with.
If you’re working closely with a student you can take a minute to clean up their list before they go any further. It can make it easier for them, and you.
There’s some quick fixes under each of the examples.
