I have a student
who is amazing with puzzles. How can I use this in his writing and other
learning?
Hopefully
because he is good at puzzles, the student also likes to do puzzles.
Try to capitalize on what the student likes to do to encourage the development
of skills in other areas. For example:
-
You
could explain the writing is similar to a puzzle. Each section is
a little piece that fit together.
-
He
could write word puzzles with an answer in the back.
-
Look
for good mystery books at his level and have the student look for,
discuss, or write about the ways a mystery is similar to a puzzle.
-
Have
him create his own puzzle. Once the student has created her puzzle,
she can write a commercial for it, market it to the class, create
a box for it, or construct a pamphlet to sell her puzzle.
