Mrs. Quimby discussed students always having trouble coming up with topics when they write. While I'm in writing workshop, numerous students have asked me to help them come up with a topic to write about. Nancie Atwell suggests doing a mini lesson on topic generation by using the "50 territories". Or check out another lesson plan for helping students think of writing topics at the following link: http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=314
