Help your language learners TALK → THINK → WRITE with confidence.
Teaching writing doesn’t have to feel heavy.
It doesn’t have to start with blank stares, stuck students, or paragraph frames that go nowhere.
Students don’t struggle because they can’t write.
They struggle because they can’t organize their thinking yet.
When the language becomes clear, the writing becomes easy.
And when students can say it, they can write it every single time.
They need structure.
They need language rehearsal.
They need a process that turns ideas into sentences into paragraphs.
They need the Cooperative Strip Paragraph.
It transforms oral language into organized, confident writing
It gives students the language before you expect them to write it
It aligns with Common Core and supports every writing genre
It builds paragraph structure through conversation + movement + meaning
It eliminates the “I don’t know how to start” freeze
It works for multilingual learners, new writers, and mixed-level classrooms
It lets you teach writing with ease, simplicity, and confidence
This is why we use Project GLAD® in the first place
because oral language is the bridge to thinking, reading, and writing.
Your students talking through their ideas before they ever pick up a pencil.
Students confidently building paragraphs in narrative, explanatory, opinion, and content areas.
Writers who understand structure because they experienced it through language not worksheets.
A writing block where you aren’t dragging words out of them…
They already have them.
Imagine writing lessons that feel joyful, predictable, and effective.
This is the strategy that finally makes that possible through authentic practice.

"The in depth explanations, photos, and video all helpful and really explain how to implement all steps of the cooperative strip paragraph. The training I had was brief and even though I took notes and photos, it wasn't explained as thoroughly as this resource. I feel much better prepared to use sp with my students. This resource ties it altogether.“
