Description
Set up your essay writing curriculum in a snap with these materials for narrative, explanatory, argumentative, and research writing.
What is it? It's not only a bundle of my best-selling, classroom-tested units and resources for writing, but with this set of resources, you will have a full year's worth of materials for teaching writing in every mode from narrative, to argumentative, to explanatory, to research. Many items are new and have been designed just for this curriculum.
Why do you need it? If you are looking for a program and a process that will make teaching and learning writing simple and effective, this resource is for you. Whether you are a new teacher or veteran teacher, the materials included here are fundamental enough to get you started and novel enough to fit into today's classroom.
What if I'm not looking for an entire program, but just a few great pieces?T his curriculum is structured for you as a yearly program – as if it were my classroom, where years of student writers have grown and achieved success. So, you can pick it up from day one and work all the way through it. However, the beauty of teaching writing with a set of materials like this is that you can also pick and choose what you need from each unit: teach basic writing skills, to memoirs, to arguing a text, to counterclaims, to painting artful sentences, to researching and presenting.
What's included? You’ll have pacing guides, essential questions, and a first thirty days calendar – and it’s all in one easy download. You’ll have tools for getting kids started, tools for writing vocabulary, tools for each mode, tools for sample papers, tools for prompts, tools for assessment and evaluation, and tools to build your students’ confidence. Your students will have tools for managing their own progress and success, too!

Classroom success stories from other teachers who have tried these resources:
♥ on my Counterclaims Teaching Pack: "Great product. Nice use of mentor text examples for students to model."
♥ on my Persuasive Appeals Bundle: "Fantastic! Includes a pop quiz, helps with checking for accountability ... offers me the choice of summative or formative assessment."
♥ on my MLA Citations Teaching Pack: "I don't know that I can say enough about this lesson. My junior and senior classes understand mla citations now. Everything was presented clearly and effectively. They really enjoyed the citation game. They were spread all over the room figuring it out. They were excited when they created the right citation, so much so that the groups who finished were eager to help struggling groups. The review activities and quiz are a great way to wrap up the lesson. When polled, 95% of my kids say they now understand and feel comfortable using citations."
♥ on my Model Essay Analysis Task Cards: ""Great for evaluating a published author or for evaluating a peer's writing. I intend to use in a writing center."
