I'll start off by explaining why I began making this file. I wanted something fun, unique, and engaging for my students to work on when it came to writing. I wanted something that my more advanced students could do at the same time as my struggling students. It needed to be geared towards differentiated instruction (but not more or less work). Lots of research went into this. I saw ideas I liked on the internet, some I didn't. I found things and changed them to fit my second graders. As I worked through these lessons I realized, they could absolutely be done with much older students as well.
A few BIG things that are covered for standards across the board in this pack include: Opinion writing, narrative writing, expository writing, creative (fiction) writing, adding detail, interview writing, and so much more! There are lesson ideas given for each lesson. Many ideas are self explanatory, but the teacher lessons will offer you ideas. These lessons are fun and creative and would make great ideas for observations as well. Engaging and unique ideas to get kids writing. Good luck writers!!!
