A Key to Science: A Simple Writing Technique Helps Students Communicate Understanding of Important Science Concepts

by: Jo Ann Yockey

One way to help students develop their writing skills is through the “key-word process.” In this method, students select key words about a topic and then use those words to build their own sentences and paragraphs. The key-word process can be expanded from paragraphs to create outlines, stories, essays, and research papers. The key-word process helps children learn not only how to write but also what they are writing about. This model produces extraordinary results when applied to the science classroom.
