  The last 4 years I have taught summer school for students that are below grade level in reading and writing. These students have trouble writing a basic simple sentence. Their stories usually do not contain a beginning, middle, and/or end. In my experience, it is also really difficult to get the boys interested in writing.
  
  I decided to try incorporating comic books into the classroom. They LOVED reading them. I also found this awesome website for my students to create their own comic strips. They loved doing this! Plus, comics are very simple. But, they need a beginning, middle, and end just like any story. It was very easy for my students to picture because we used the comic strips with 3 frames. They wrote basic simple sentences, using the correct punctuation within the speech bubbles.
  
  I would recommend trying this with students (especially boys) that are hesitant to write!
