We all have those boys in class who struggle to write and stay focused when writing. Why is this the case? This blog is a journal of my investigation into what motivates boys to write. The focus is on discovering if giving them more choice and ownership makes a difference.

My Plan for the Classroom
This term to give my research some structure I have planned my term as you can see above. I didn't want to add to many variables at once otherwise it will be harder to tell what influences writing and why. It also makes it more manageable in the classroom environment.
My key variables that I am planning to compare this term are the noise of the environment the boys write in, and how having choice influence on the quality of writing. So as you can see above each week I will change a variable and see what happens. I will also latter in the term compare writing samples for five boys across the term.
Next term or maybe latter this term I am going to also focus on collaboration, competition, feedback/feedforward and sharing medium to see how these variables impact on their writing.
