Categorizing, Paragraph Building and Transitional Word Activities

This 30 page publication was created to help students understand and strengthen the formula or organizational structure of writing without the added responsibility of spelling, penmanship, and conjuring up ideas. Beginners have fun organizing and webbing main ideas and details. At the intermediate level, students order sentences to form paragraphs, and for an advanced option, players have to decide on the placement of transitional words or phrases.

I created this especially for my students that struggle with the structure of writing. One of my students loved the activities so much, she asked me to make a copy of the laminated cards that she could take home.
