Add 6 Types of Supporting Details

Teachers want more detail, more idea development, more elaboration. However, when we ask students to add more details, they often nod their heads in agreement and stare at us blankly. They know they need to add more… but they don’t know what to add or how to add it. Rather than telling students to add more detail, explicitly reveal a variety of ways to accomplish this elaboration.
