Instructional Ideas

  • Post a graphic that reminds class members of the format of multi-paragraph essays and a copy of the rubric that will be used to assess the essay
  • Remind writers to consult the rubric as they draft their response

Classroom Considerations

  • This is the fifth in a 13-lesson unit that examines how authors structure informational texts and develop their ideas 

Pros

  • The 12-page resource includes a list of the Common Core standards addressed by the lesson, the plan, a model essay, a template for the evidence collection tool, an annotated copy of the tool for teachers, the writing prompt, and a homework assignment

Cons

  • None
