Narrative/Descriptive Writing Template | Journey to Earth Layers

By Nardine Mettry

Bon voyage on your narrative adventure to the Earth's core! Prepare to be amazed by the incredible experiences that await!

What's Included?
2 Writing Prompts (Choose One)
Option 1: Divided Paragraphs (Provides a more structured approach)

  1. The Crust: Your adventure begins at the surface, on the Earth's crust. Describe the landscape – is it a scorching desert, a lush forest, or a mountain peak? What sights and sounds surround you?
  2. The Mantle: As you burrow deeper, the heat intensifies. You've reached the mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth. Describe the strange and wondrous things you encounter here – molten rocks, exotic crystals, or perhaps even signs of ancient creatures.
  3. The Outer Core: The pressure is immense as you descend further. Now you're in the outer core, a sea of liquid metal. Describe the mesmerizing flow of the molten metal and the otherworldly sights that take your breath away.
  4. The Inner Core: Finally, you've reached the Earth's innermost layer, the solid inner core. Describe the unimaginable heat and pressure here. What does it feel like to be at the very center of our planet?

Option 2: Lined Paper (Open-Ended)
This version allows for more creative freedom. Imagine your journey to the Earth's core and narrate your experiences in a continuous story. Describe the challenges you face, the wonders you discover, and your thoughts and feelings throughout this extraordinary adventure.


⭐You might need this to remind your students of the Layers of the Earth | Activity and Notes**⭐**


Don't forget to share with me how it went with your little ones. I hope it was useful in your classroom.

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

★ Writing Reflection Worksheets

10 pages

Print and Digital

Great for ANY subject area

Suitable for Elementary, Middle, and High School Students

This resource includes:

★ 4 Writing Reflection Sheets (with and without graphics / 9 Sheets Total)

★ 1 Skills List Sheet

★ 1 Google Slide Link

*******************************

This resource includes 4 Writer's Reflection Worksheets (with and without graphics / print and digital) that give students an opportunity to reflect about the writing process and writing assignments they have completed. This product also includes a "List of Writing Skills" sheet, which lists a variety of writing skills that students can reflect about, have used, or need additional support in (when completing their writing tasks).

The list of writing skills sheet will help students select and reflect about skills that best apply to them. Often times, students don't know what skills to think about and/or consider unless they are presented with the skills at hand. This is an excellent tool for lower level students who need additional support in thinking about their writing.

✅ The worksheets contain amazing page borders, fonts, and clip arts - very visually appealing!

✅ This will be an excellent addition to a final writing piece about a particular book/text. I often display reflection sheets next to students' work on bulletin boards and with their final writing products!

✅ This resource includes both print and digital versions (with text boxes already created)! You can assign reflection sheets to students in person or remotely – either way works!

Julius Caesar FINAL WRITING ASSIGNMENT: Essay Prompts, Advice, Rubric | EDITABLE

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

Looking for a final writing assignment on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar? This resource features everything you'll need to lead students through the process of writing an analytical essay about Julius Caesar.

The resource features 5 writing prompts which will motivate students to think with nuance about important themes in the play. The resource also includes scaffolding to help students select evidence, generate an outline, and begin writing. For teachers, the resource features an assessment rubric which can be used to grade and provide feedback on students' analytical writing.

As a bonus, this resource also features a two-page handout on how to embed quotations within an analytical essay. The handout provides students with three techniques for framing textual evidence: the block quotation, the clause-and-colon method, and the integration of short quotations into one's own sentence.

Here's what you'll find in this editable 10-page resource:

  • Analytical Writing Assignment: Challenge students to take their interpretations one step further by writing an analytical paper on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Let students choose from one of 5 thought-provoking sample topics — or invite them to develop a topic of their own. Writing schedule, outline template, and rubric included. (4 pages)
  • Framing Quotations: This handout provides students with advice about how to embed textual evidence into a body paragraph. The handout familiarizes students with three different methods for framing quotations: the block quotation, the clause-and-colon method, and the integration of key words and phrases within one's own sentence. (2 pages)
  • Outline Template: Provide students with the scaffolding necessary to write a five-paragraph essay. This outline template challenges students to fill in a text box for every part of their essay: hook, thesis, topic sentences, evidence, analysis, and conclusion. (3 pages)
  • Assessment Rubric: Evaluate student essays in a quick and efficient manner by using an analytical writing rubric. (1 page)

The entire unit will come to you in two separate formats: Word Docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are fully editable, you'll be able to customize them to match the skill levels of your students year after year. If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access PDF versions which are easy to navigate and quick to print.

Rigorous Resources is your one-stop shop for top-quality resources on William Shakespeare. Wishing you an amazing experience with teaching the Julius Caesar. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I love hearing from fellow teachers who share a passion for great literature!
