What educators are saying

Absolutely love this resource. Love that the writing steps are clearly outlined and make the writing process a little easier for struggling learners. I wish these were made for generic writing.
My students enjoyed writing about the planets while using this resource and all that comes in it! It paired well with our science lessons too!

Description

Are you looking for a way to incorporated guided research and solid paragraph writing into your daily schedule? Our It's Time to Research Planets Paragraph Packet will lead young writers through researching a planet of their choice on safe kid-friendly websites. When finished researching, students will be guided through each step of the writing process as they write a well-developed informative paragraph about the planet they chose. When student writing is complete, use the included rubric to assess and bulletin board letters and graphics to display student work!

9 Planets Included:

  • Earth
  • Jupiter
  • Mars
  • Mercury
  • Neptune
  • Pluto (Dwarf Planet)
  • Saturn
  • Uranus
  • Venus

Our Paragraph Packets are designed to guide primary students through each step of the writing process while implementing a step-by-step method to help them create a well-developed paragraph that includes a topic sentence, 3 detail sentences with further explanation, and a conclusion sentence. Students will also be guided through the revision and editing process and participate in a peer conference for further feedback.

Our Paragraph Packets are perfect for younger students who need more guidance in whole or small group settings, while their structure helps support more independent writers as well.

The format of our Paragraph Packets remains the same for each prompt so that students can continue to grow more independent in their writing through familiarity with the layout. Please download our FREEBIE Prompt, It's Time to Be Kind for a look at how each Paragraph Packet is set up.

Each Paragraph Packet guides students through the writing process by providing templates/organizers for the following the following steps:

❶Brainstorm

❷Outline/Plan

❸Rough Draft

❹Revise and Edit Checklist

❺Peer Conference

❻Publishing Paper

❼Assessment

In addition:

Display your students’ writing with included bulletin board letters and graphics
