3) Do you put a lot of emphasis on writing? Why or why not?

4) Do you connect writing to other content areas? How?

5) What do you think are the benefits of writing?

6) Do you require that below grade level students and second language learners write as much as the rest of the class?

7) What is the overall feeling that your students have regarding writing?
8) Do you motivate them to write or do you just expect them to complete the assignment?
