Thanks so much. Are you speaking of a specific 'quick start' technique other than what one would 'intuit' from the phrase?

Regarding your student who needs to find what works for her for getting started, I have a couple of suggestions, but they can either be the best or worst ideas for this particular case. First idea addresses the perfectionism - Have this student do two or three "Quick starts" and then choose which one she wants to develop into the full paper. Idea two addresses the need for some students to have their own routine, similar to establishing a bedtime ritual - Have this student develop the habit of making a quick outline, and then continue writing according to the outlined plan. If those ideas don't work, please keep seeking other ideas. Something will work. Kare Jenn wrote: I have a student who doesn't exactly fit the usual profile at my office. Once she gets started she does write fairly well but getting her started is IMPOSSIBLE. I think there is a component of perfectionism and some embarrassment when she doesn't start off like the rest of the crowd. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
