hi
Why does student writing often feel uninspired or seem to lack purpose? The absence of a clearly identified relevant audience is a prime factor. Without that, the teacher becomes the de facto audience. When teachers are the audience, there’s a disconnect because the topics are often meant for someone else. When there’s an outside audience with a vested interest in the topic, you don’t have this problem.
The Benefits of Writing for an Audience
Knowing their writing has an audience besides their teacher helps motivate students to do their very best work.

It’s common for teachers, after students do an individual exploration (for example: reading a short text and marking it up for keywords or questions), to ask them to form groups and compile their thinking on poster paper, which they share with classmates through a gallery walk. Why not try to create a collaborative slide deck where each group takes ownership of their slide and then this becomes a living document.
Using Collaborative Slide Decks to Promote Engagement
With a little bit of prep, teachers can set up a digital version of the popular gallery walk to foster collaboration in the classroom.
