Description
Loosely connected to Benchmark Advance Unit 1 content, while still standing alone as ACCESS-style writing practice. Works both as a formative assessment and as a way to teach and model ACCESS writing tasks.
- Teacher Script – Modeled directions, modeled think-aloud, sample sentence frames.
- Student Pages – Writing prompts, scaffolds (graphic organizer, sentence starters), and lined response pages.
- Two Versions:
- Level A: simpler prompt, more scaffolds, frames, and word banks.
- Level B/C: more open-ended, less scaffolded, closer to actual ACCESS expectations.
- Prompt Design – Modeled after ACCESS writing task types (inform, narrate, explain, argue) but connected to grade-level content (e.g. adaptations of animals).

NGSS3-LS4-3
Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
NGSS3-LS4-2
Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing. Examples of cause and effect relationships could be plants that have larger thorns than other plants may be less likely to be eaten by predators; and, animals that have better camouflage coloration than other animals may be more likely to survive and therefore more likely to leave offspring.
NGSS3-LS4-4
Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change. Examples of environmental changes could include changes in land characteristics, water distribution, temperature, food, and other organisms. Assessment is limited to a single environmental change. Assessment does not include the greenhouse effect or climate change.
