Informational Essay Writing Workbook Graphic Organizers for Expository Writing

Informational essay writing workbook full of graphic organizers for expository writing. Teaching students to write an organized 5 paragraph expository essay can be challenging. I have found that my third graders need quite a bit of scaffolding to be able to write a grade level expository composition. I made this workbook as a way of guiding students through the process including:

Writing Steps Included in the Workbook

1. Choosing a Topic
2. Researching
3. Learning How to Cite Sources (including websites, videos, and books)
4. Developing 3 Solid Subtopics or Main Ideas for the Body
5. Writing a Topic Sentence
6. Creating an Engaging Hook
7. Writing an Introduction Paragraph
8. Easily Formatting Body Paragraphs
9. Writing a Conclusion

This workbook contains 16 graphic organizers that make scaffolding expository/informational writing a breeze. I typically teach 1-2 worksheets per day and students end up with an exceptional nonfiction research essay in just a few weeks.
