The focus question of my project was, 'What are the effects of using guided writing strategies, such as creative captions with graphics and the use of graphics along with journaling, on seventh grade students' understanding of ecology concepts?' To help support my capstone project, the following subquestions were addressed. 1. What are the effects of using guided writing strategies on students' long-term memory? 2. What are the effects of using guided writing strategies on students' journaling skills? 3. What are the effects of using guided writing strategies on students' attitude and motivation?
