Sometimes when I'm working with a student and they are needing help in organizing their thoughts and getting them written down I notice that they are wanting me to feed them word for word what to write. In order to avoid "writing" for them, I just tell them that I'm going to let them get that aspect of their paper written and I will be back to check on them. This makes them do their own writing in their own words and I'm able to avoid the whole "feed me, feed me" problem that arises from the students lack of confidence in their own writing.
What do you do to avoid the "feed me" problem?
