Remix Types for Writing
Genre Shift Remix
Best for: Genre variety and writer flexibilityReframe the same topic or skill in a different genre — an informational topic becomes an argument, a narrative becomes a poem.
Mentor Text Remix
Best for: Craft instruction and inspirationAdd a strong mentor text at the craft level you're teaching, and build the lesson around analyzing it before writing.
Scaffold Remix
Best for: Differentiated writing workshopAdd or remove writing scaffolds — graphic organizers, sentence frames, example paragraphs — to adjust independence level.
Mini-Lesson Remix
Best for: Time-constrained sessions or writing block varietyShorten a full writing lesson into a focused 10-minute mini-lesson targeting one specific craft or convention skill.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remix a writing lesson for struggling writers?
Add a planning graphic organizer, reduce the length requirement to one focused paragraph, provide sentence starters, use a strong mentor text, and allow partner drafting or oral rehearsal before writing.
Can I remix a writing lesson to cover multiple genres?
Yes — use a choice board format where students write about the same topic in 2–3 different genres, comparing what changes and what stays the same about how they communicate the idea.
