Writing Strategy - Creativity: Encourage creativity and allow the students to draw pictures to .express themselves Justification - “These students do not know how to read, speak, nor how to write the English language.

They need to be able to make the needed corrections to their mistakes as well. They need to be able to do this without the fear of failure or without the .( discouragement that a poor grade could cause” (Robertson & Ford, 2019
