Description:

• This product is meant to provide scaffolding for students who are writing a Persuasive Essay. It has helped my students write almost twice as fast, now that they had very specific boundaries and structure. The Short-Writes helped my students realize just how varied and strong their opinions were. They created a stepping stone that set up the next step of brainstorming and writing their Introductions. The Introductions, Body Paragraphs, and Conclusions templates are easily stapled together as the writing process continues. When it comes to writing their Final Draft, this progression allows the students to do so with ample ease.

Includes:

• 4 Short-Write templates

  • Topics covered: Things I Love, Things That Bug Me, Things That Should Change, and Things I Am Passionate About

• Introduction, Body Paragraph, and Conclusion templates

  • Body paragraphs contain space for 4 paragraphs

• Instructions and suggestions

• Possible resources

• Everything included in this packet is featured in the thumbnails!

Time:

• I would suggest using these templates over a space of a few days. My class got through this in about a week with everything in this package. Now, we have our Final Draft to finish, so it might be a good plan to count on this entire process taking two weeks, depending on your students' ages.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Description:

• This is a packet meant to help students write their own imaginative stories. It contains eleven worksheets that will break down this process. You do not have to use every worksheet in this packet to teach the unit. Some worksheets will seem to cover the exact same concept, only slightly different. However, I realized that everyone has different tastes in how to teach, so I tried to give a few more options. It is difficult to say how long this will take. Every group of students is different. From the start to the final draft, I am assuming it will take two to three weeks.

Includes:

• 11 different worksheets covering
  • Setting, conflict, resolutions, character, and plot development
  • It begins with asking students to delve into the topics based on their experiences, then moves into brainstorming, designing their own stories, writing their drafts, and adding revisions.
  • Each of my designs is included in the previews! No buying without seeing the whole package!

I don’t know about you, but I love having options! Because of that, I have worked to provide different leveled newspaper templates. These could easily be combined into a multipage newsletter booklet if you so choose, or it could remain as a single page assignment. I also tried to make it so that you could have a “front page” and a content page if you printed front and back. Whichever level your students are in, I think that there is a little something in here for everyone!

Includes:

• 9 Newspaper Outlines (with one page of lined paper)
• 1 page of newspaper jargon to inspire better word choice
• Tidbits and advice!

Everything in this package is included in the thumbnails and preview!

These outlines came with multiple benefits:

• Reminders of instructions on each outline
• Structure in limiting sentences - beneficial for advanced students
• A clear goal line - very helpful for lower leveled students
• Adjective borders - How difficult is it to help larger classes with
• longer and create better writers.
• Transition word borders - Help your students connect events smoothly

Includes:

• Outlines for the following six paragraphs:
  • Introduction
  • Character Description Paragraph
  • Setting Description Paragraph
  • Middle of Event Paragraph
  • End of Event Paragraph
  • Conclusion Paragraph

Description:

• This product contains templates to help students write an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion for an Expository Research Writing project on animals. The introduction has students begin with an interesting lead and include sentences with general and specific sentences on appearance, habitat, diet, life cycle, and predators. There are two introduction templates on one page. This page will simply need to be cut in half so that an introduction can be given to two students per page. The body paragraph template has space for four paragraphs with main idea titles and spaces for key words that will be turned into sentences. The key words will be found and highlighted in their research prior to filling out this template. This page will need to be printed front and back. Remind students to add transition words when they write their final draft. The conclusion has a blank for a transition word, which has helped my students remember to put one. It also contains three spaces for summary sentences and one space for a final feeling sentence to close the report. There are other instructions included in this packet.

• Two introduction paragraph templates per page containing:

  • Space for four sentences
  • An interesting lead sentence
