Description

52 task cards to improve your students writing: expository, narrative, opinion and comparing. Each task card has a writing prompt, a funny image that supports the prompt, and directions for the task.

  • EXPOSITORY: Students describe how to play a particular sport, or how become a fire-fighter, or what a typical day for a frog might be like.
  • NARRATIVE: Students write a story about a bull that got angry, or a tornado that liked to steal, or a scorpion that liked to sing and sting.
  • OPINION: Students tell what they prefer, ice-cream or pizza, reading or writing, jumping rope or hula-hooping.
  • COMPARING: Students compare two things, explaining two ways in which they are different and three ways in which they are the same. A laptop and a smart phone, a lamp and the sun, a bicycle and an automobile.

PRINT: I created a PDF version that you can download on your computer and print for students to use in class or at home. Click on "Add one to cart" and download your copy.

DIGITAL ACTIVITY: I created a digital version with text boxes so students can type in the answers using a computer or tablet (for Distance Learning). Click on "Create Digital Activity" and link the activities to your Google Classroom. Online Resource. Yes, I already added the interactive layer to each page. Enjoy!

An excellent resource to use when teaching how to write a paragraph. My students really enjoyed using the activities in this unit of work and it was a great time saver for me as I didn't have to create my own activities.

Great product. I adapted this for students with visual impairments by printing it out on card stock, laminating it and placing the braille text on top. Now all my students can access the information.

Awesome! That is exactly what I hope others will do, so the materials can be used year after year with each incoming group of curious and eager minds.
