Description
Are you searching for FAST Writing guided lessons to help your students succeed on the FAST Writing test or any text-based writing assignment? This comprehensive resource breaks down expository and argumentative writing into manageable steps, covering everything from reading prompts to planning, introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions. Perfect for opinion and informational essays, this resource ensures your students are prepared for text-based writing success.
Why This Resource Stands Out:
- Step-by-Step Approach: Helps students master each component of text-based essays, making writing less overwhelming and more achievable.
- Test-Aligned Practice: Perfect for FAST Writing and adaptable for other state writing standards, such as: OAA (Ohio), RISE (Utah), AzMerit (Arizona), GMAS (Georgia), and PARCC (New Jersey).
- Teacher-Tested: Proven to help students understand essay structure and confidently write independently.
What’s Included:
- Paired Passages:
- Should You Own a Pet?
- Owning a Dog
- Cute, Cuddly Cats
- 2 Writing Prompts:
- 1 Opinion Prompt
- 1 Informational Prompt
- Guided Writing Practice:
- Posters & Journal Entries (also available in other Writing Resources & Guided Lessons Set 1)
- Reading Prompts Practice Worksheet
- Planning Worksheets
- Introduction Worksheets & Activities
- Body Paragraph Worksheets & Activities
- Conclusion Worksheets & Activities
- Interactive Notebook Option:
- Opinion Interactive Notebook for easy student reference.
- Answer Keys for all activities.
Bonus:
The included posters and journal entry file is provided as a standalone option for easier printing and use. These posters are also embedded in each lesson and part of Set 1 Guided Writing Practice for a cohesive learning experience.
Perfect For:
- Preparing students for the FAST Writing test and other text based writing standards.
- Teaching the basics of text-based opinion and informational writing.
- Building confidence in essay writing with a structured, step-by-step approach.
- Supporting independent writing success by focusing on each part of an essay.
Teacher Feedback:
"I love this resource! It is a great way to help your students understand the parts of an essay. I like how the body paragraph practice gives them a strong example, and then has them create their own using text evidence."
