Heather is a bright middle school student who usually does well in language arts. She loves to read and enjoys a wide range of authors and types of literature. However, she doesn't like to write. She finds writing tedious and occasionally doesn't do her best work on writing assignments. Currently the class is learning to research a topic and write informational reports, being cautious about citing sources and presenting ideas in their own words. During class, Heather becomes impatient about summarizing ideas in her own words and complains to the teacher that she hates this assignment. The teacher responds by saying, "Didn't you learn to summarize in elementary school? If you actually read the article you'd be able to do this in a snap. Stop complaining and get busy."

First, discuss who owns this problem of Heather's hating the assignment.
Then explain why this teacher's approach is NOT effective.
Next, describe what the teacher might do to deal with the problem positively.
