Description
Timed essays are a great way to teach your students to get started writing quickly when they are given a prompt. Once they realize that they do have time to write a draft during a timed assessment, they are much more likely to do so. I have used this method with both 7th and 9th graders, and it works beautifully with both!
This file contains a time, guided expository/informational essay about balancing work and play. There is also a document with instructions and a lesson cycle for timed informational essays.
This timed PowerPoint takes students through the drafting process for the expository essay portion of the 7th grade writing test and the English I EOC. Based on a released prompt.
