Dr. Carlson's Teaching Reading class learned first-hand, not only how to conduct a brain writing activity with their future students, but also how to participate in their own brain writing . On Monday, Feb. 21^st, Dr. Carlson gave her students a chart three columns wide, and four columns deep to introduce them to the helpful activity. They were given the topic of "reading comprehension", and then were told to think of three strategies for improving reading comprehension with their students. After they had written their three ideas, they were to pass their chart on to another student for her to write down her three ideas. Dr. Carlson's students were not to repeat any already-used ideas on the charts passed to them. The way the brain writing activity was introduced and conducted with Dr. Carlson's college students, was an example of the way it could be introduced to K-12 students. This activity is great for allowing students to compare and contrast their ideas with those ideas had by their other classmates. Dr. Carlson's students will definitely be using this useful teaching tool!
