A strategy created by Edwin S. Ellis, DEFENDS is a task-specific writing strategy used in conjunction with an organizer to cue students through the writing process. This strategy is effective with students who have mild and moderate disabilities. As with all mnemonicis, teachers need to model the strategy to students and go through the steps of the mnemonic repeatedly until the students can use it independently.
