I saw a similar idea for the blackboard in Pinterest. This is so good, thanks for sharing it. I always try to give my students extra practice for writing, it will serve well. I teach English as a Foreign Language.

It's great, Tracee! You should know that today in a department meeting, our ILT presented this. She said it was sent to her from the Georgia Dept. of Ed, and sent it to all of our ELA teachers to use. :)

Love this! It came at the perfect time, too. We are building an analytical essay. I shared with them that it used to be "PEE" and they loved that! Thanks so much for all of your hard work!

I am a teacher aide and have never seen paragraphs so clearly explained. The colourful chart will help my lower students immensely (and I'm sure the others in the class will benefit from the acronym too.) At present we note keyword/s for each sentence on a sticky note and tear off one by one when complete. Thank you so much
October 21, 2012
khowe512
I'd not heard of the acronym...goodness, why didn't I think of this? How could I have missed it? I REALLY like the organizers. I have students who need the lines, and other who want the space to draw their ideas. To have both is excellent.
October 21, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
I have the same thing in my room--some who like them, some who don't. I always hope people understand why I include both. :) Thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback! I appreciate it.

Wonderful work! Thanks for the anchor chart idea! I teach 6th grade language arts. Many students have trouble formulating paragraphs with evidence. This is a huge help and ties in well with middle school ccgps! Thanks for sharing.

I just switched to teaching 8th grade ELA; I think this will be a pratical graphic organizer to help with their writing.

So glad you can use it with your students! Thanks for leaving feedback.

The graphic organizer will come in very handy. I've tried to come up with similar acronyms for paragraphs, but this is better! Always love getting my hands on your Freebies!

Thank you so much! I can't take credit for the acronym, but I'm so glad you find it useful.

Love this but the horizontal ones do not have the descriptors?
September 13, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Did you try reloading? It's a larger file, so perhaps it didn't download all the way. Sometimes Adobe is sluggish, too, and the page just needs to load completely. On my school computer they take a little longer to load, but they do all print. I hope that helps.

Love this acronym to help students remember what to include in their paragraphs! I'm using this on Monday!!! Thank you!

Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Hi jrobin201, All of the CCSS writing standards from grades 6-12 divide the writing into three types: argument, informative/explanatory, and narrative. This is for the argument and informative/explanatory types of writing only. Because each grade level follows the same formula for writing, the "introduce claims/topics, develop/support claims/topics, use words to create cohesion/links, and provide concluding statement" are virtually identical. In fact, I could probably add an "S" to make it "PEELS" and include the "establish and maintain an appropriate style." See page 2 of the download to see how each fits with each letter. The example is for W.8.1., but applies for the first two writing standards in grades 6-12. Actually, it applies to grades 4 and 5, as well. They follow pretty much the exact formula. I have a link to the standards on page 2 for further help. -Tracee

I wanted to print this out, but after using up tons of ink, it turns out that this can't be copied on a normal 8x11 sheet. What's the deal?
March 17, 2013
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
I created it on a normal 8.5x11 page so you need to look at your page set-up and printer settings to see what you are doing wrong. Check your default settings--most people have the default as 8.5x11. You can also check to see if you accidentally did not have it scale automatically regardless the size you may have set. If you are still having problems, you can google how to change your settings for your particular computer/printer.

Tracee, when I try to download this free item, it gives me a "502 Bad Gateway" error message. Any ideas?
October 26, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
I'll try to see what's going on and re-upload if it's not working.
jgteach2reach - I just checked and it seems to be working. The site may have just been busy at the time. Hope it lets you download. :) -Tracee

I also am not getting the graphic organizer. I just saw this for the first time tonight. thoughts?
October 21, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Wow--that is really weird! I downloaded it again and it was the old version! I wonder if TpT was moving the file around from one server to a different one? At any rate, please re-download. I uploaded the new one again and HOPE it sticks for good. I've never had a file revert to an older version, but stranger things have happened. Sorry for your troubles, beckerwoman! (My maiden name is Becker. :)

UPDATED: I just re-uploaded it. Please try again. I think wonky things are going on tonight...could be high traffic-related or who knows what! The file was fine a few hours ago, then I checked for the 5th time and it was the older version. Crazy! Maybe TpT is haunted tonight??? LOL Thanks & sorry, Cora! -Tracee

Hi Lynette - please try again. I re-uploaded it and hope the new file doesn't disappear again...maybe the Halloween ghosts are tricking TpT early. LOL

Veronda Funches (TpT Seller)
I love the charts. Thanks for sharing. I am from TN and this will be our first year with Common Core Writing. What other products do you offer in this area? It would help greatly to see prompts or student samples.
September 19, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Hi Veronda - I have many products (both free/priced) for common core because we had to implement it last year into our curriculum. I would tell you to do a search in my store for "common core" but the search feature is not working properly. :( What grade level are you looking for? I have mainly 6-12 and my graphic organizers for reading are my best sellers. I am working on additional writing resources, but I do have a lot for journalism (expository) writing. Let me know grade level & I can point you in the right direction. Thanks so much!

4mulaFun (TpT Seller)
I love this but have a favor, would their be any way you could change paragraph to article? I teach a newspaper class (well 2 actually) and think this would be an awesome poster to have in my room.
September 10, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Thanks, 4mulafun! I can't make any promises on when I could get around to it, but feel free to copy the text to make one for your room in the meantime. :)
Update: I decided not to update it to "article" because I do teach news writing a little differently (and use different terms) than persuasive and informational expository. Instead, I use the formula fact+transition+quote/attribution+transition. I uploaded some new journalism resources that are aligned to the Common Core. I hope that helps!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
