I currently work with juniors, seniors, and dual-credit students to help them reach their educational goals of meeting graduation requirements. We focus on writing and reading components on a daily basis to help students work on their vocabulary, stamina, grammar, and ability. I have given students the opportunity to self-select books that may be to their liking, and the option to change if needed to help them understand how things work in the real world. Through reflection this year, 100% of the students who mentioned self-selected writing, appreciated the opportunity to choose their own book and change when needed to start a book they may like. Of the students who addressed an increase in writing ability, 90% indicated that writing every day helped them become better writers through vocabulary, grammar, and descriptive language. Twenty-five percent have chosen to continue to write outside the classroom. Overall, I feel that I am reaching the students through a learning level as well as a level where they can understand what it means to succeed.
