Beyond the Paragraph: Teaching Writing in Middle School with Structure
Are You Teaching Essays The Wrong Way? Ep. 16
14 Sep 2025
What if your students could experience essay structure instead of just being told about it? In this episode, I introduce The Rebuild Relay, which is a constructivist teaching method that gets students moving, problem-solving, and teaching each other. You’ll hear how it works with a 7th grade argumentative essay, why it’s more effective than reading the rubric aloud, and how it can be adapted for younger learners with a fun Detective & Informant twist. Plus, I’ll share ways this strategy can be used across subjects like math, science, and history.
