In his first classroom, he noticed that many students did not know where to begin; or how to effectively draft an essay paragraph. Also, there was a palpable fear that many would not pass the state's mandatory writing exam. So, he devised this color-coded, easy-to-use guide to help students understand the building blocks needed for vivid, imaginative writings. The results proved remarkable after reviewing grammar through 50 bellringers, incorporating several Introduction types and Conclusion techniques. As a result, students were armed with Style, expressive Voice, and vivid Imagery. The astonishing results were 97%, 98%, and 100% passing rates on the FCAT during three consecutive years of use. GREAT BURGER can work for any teacher or a student just as well when implemented faithfully.
