"I used this resource weekly for my students to be comfortable when taking the state test in April. For 6 weeks we practice together and then I slowly let loose for them to become independent."

Description

This is a bulletin board set with an introductory lesson to teach students the RACE or RACES strategy for writing. Follow the simple lesson to help students respond to a passage and open-ended text-dependent question. Students feel confident having a strategy for essay writing responses.

❤️ Click here for BOHO neutral colors ❤️

When students don't know how to start, they don't. Plus, the writing quality suffers. This method provides concrete steps for students to follow while answering text-based questions. The RACE strategy builds confidence when answering text-dependent analysis questions and citing text evidence from reading passages.

ONE LESSON IS INCLUDED with a practice prompt to introduce your students to the strategy. You'll feel confident when you teach this lesson to your class. Complete directions and a differentiated example passage are included. The passage is provided in 2 levels - choose the level your students need or differentiate for individual students.

Need sentence starters - answer stems? Perfect.

>>> Speech Bubble Style Sentence Starters <<<
