How can writing modification be effectively supported in the classroom?

Writing modification is effectively supported in the classroom by posting exemplars for struggling students. Posting exemplars provides students with clear models of what quality writing looks like. These samples can illustrate various writing styles, formats, and levels of complexity that students may be expected to achieve. By having access to these examples, students can better understand the expectations and requirements for their own writing tasks. It serves as a point of reference that can help them self-assess their work and identify areas for improvement.

Additionally, exemplars can motivate students by showing them what is attainable and can inspire their creativity and effort. They provide a framework that can demystify the writing process, breaking it down into concrete elements that students can replicate, thus fostering a more supportive writing environment. This approach is particularly beneficial in a diverse classroom where students may have varying levels of writing proficiency and language background.

In contrast, while one-on-one tutoring, conducting group workshops, and increasing reading assignments can also support writing development, they do not specifically provide the immediate and visual reference points that exemplars offer for writing improvement.
