    Tellmewhatyouthink.

    Give me an example.

    How does that make sense?

    Give me an explanation.

    What I tell my students:

    1) Tell me a story (problem and solution)2) When youre afraid of what your writing, then its probably good because

    its honest.

    3) Words are not enough, therefore draw, use figurative language to explain.
