Direct your students to reserve part of their notebooks for writing ideas. They might create sections for different types of ideas such as new discoveries, important beliefs, ideas from books, and so on. This one simple strategy will help your students become more mindful of the writing topics and details that stream through their lives. It will also lessen the number of times you hear, "I don't know what to write about!"
