When it comes to writing, there is so much we want (and need) to teach our students. However, we cannot focus on all of it all at once or we will cause our students to hate writing. I have broken this down into easy to implement lesson plans and have included all of the materials you need.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This is set up perfectly! Such a huge time saver for me! Includes everything needed to walk through lessons with beginning writers! Love the sequential progression!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐My students have been extremely into this and we haven’t even finished it yet! I believe that it is helping them break down fictional narratives into bits and pieces to help them better understand before they actually write the entire story. This resource has been extremely helpful!
