Students are headed to college, but do they understand what college level writing is and how it is different from middle/high school writing? This 20 page presentation is just what is needed to reinforce what teachers have been explaining to college bound students--that expectations for college level writing are high! Includes: Activities for interactive learning throughout the presentation List of college level writing expectations Chart of middle/high school writing vs. college level writing Example of thesis from middle to high school to college level Compare/contrast of middle/high school vs. college writing Fill-in-the-blank format for analysis college level writing Tips from professors and students on how to be successful Where to find help with college level writing on campus Activities include: Individual/group define college level writing Compare/contrast middle/high school writing vs. college level writing Writing thesis for different levels of writers Fill-in-the-blank analysis template Give a writer's tip

I recommend only getting individual letter sets if you're only working on one, few, or some, because my best deal for ALL letters comes from the other combined resources or bundles.

These activities at the most basic level introduce children to words that correspond to the key letter, but to enhance learning and create collaboration, include older siblings / children.

Activities within:

• read an excerpt on each ballpoint person, w/bolded words that focus on key letter
• reading comprehension questions (2-4 each letter)
• parts of speech - circle the part each bolded word is

The reading comp and parts of speech pages may be more appropriate for older children (4-6th grade); the letter name/sound activity in the bolded words is better for younger kids (under grade 4). Depending on learning level, special needs, etc. some of this will be review or perhaps too challenging with only one age group or child. It's flexible on purpose!

BUNDLES - FOR THE BEST VALUE!

• consonants
• vowels
• ALL LETTERS
