Twenty complete lessons for teaching 15 key writing formats are paired with independent writing packets that guide students through the writing process independently. The lessons help students improve their skills in fiction and nonfiction writing, while building the skills they need to write evocative descriptive paragraphs and powerful persuasive essays. Each packet includes a writing sample that models the target format, a prewriting organizer to collect and organize ideas, and helpful tips to keep your students focused as they draft and revise. Each strategy mini-lesson includes a set of reproducible pages that guide students through brainstorming, planning, and drafting their writing.
