Two Examples of Scaffolding 

• Writing: One example of scaffolding used for writing is the PICK Analysis, a strategy developed by MC Professor Hannah Weiser, JD/MBA. PICK Analysis asks students to make a Point, Identify and explain concepts, Connect the facts, and give a Key takeaway. For more information on the PICK Analysis, watch this video.
