## Step 2

 

 

**Explore the variety of resources** that could be used to support student writing.- [Transition Words](https://bit.ly/1k23HLT)
- [Diagramming Sentences (Elementary)](https://bit.ly/2VyD1On)
- [Writing Open or Constructed Responses in Math](https://bit.ly/2Rxlh6R)
- [Building Writing Stamina](https://bit.ly/2Ax7ELr)
- [Causal Patterns in Science](https://bit.ly/2RfN50B)



 



 

 

 

## Step 3

 

 

 **Select a writing task** for a subject area and grade level that interests you and **identify a [WIDA Writing Standard](https://drive.google.com/open?id=132SwEEKpC5Q-xRhko1t3Gxm_zYIQiXhM)** aligned with this writing task. **Create a student materia**l to support their writing. Use the examples from Step 2. **Explain how using this material will support student development toward the WIDA standard**.
