⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am so glad I found this resource. Writing is usually a hard thing for me to plan and make engaging. With this, I could do the whole writing process with my students. Which is something they didn’t have a lot of practice with due to learning at home during the height of the pandemic. I cannot wait to use it this upcoming school year and see the progress my students make throughout the school year. – Thobi

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really like this writing resource! I assist my students with the graphic organizer and then I guide them as they begin to write their own sentences based on the graphic organizer. It’s a good lead up to how writing opinions should be formatted. Recommended! – Lauren P.

    This is a fantastic writing resource! I’ve tried a few and this one contains exactly what my students need to engage them in their writing. The topics are interesting and they contain a checklist and word bank, different styles of lines, and a planning page. The clip art in the word bank is very helpful for my students who need that extra help. I was hoping there would be an extra page of lines without the title for my students who need extra writing space but can use a page from other resources so it’s OK. Thank you for another practical and fun resource!
