Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)
This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

Lovely Lauren says,
You've got to grab this great writing prompt for the 100th day of school! To celebrate all things 100, I thought giving your students $100 dollars would suffice! :)

Your kids will have to chance to have their face on a $100 bill! They could draw themselves, or you can take a picture of them and attach it for some added pizzaz!

Adjective Paragraph Help Students learn to add adjectives in writing
This worksheet that I made up is a paragraph written with no adjectives. The students can see how it can be "boring" and what a difference adjectives make. They then have to re-write the paragraph and add their own adjectives. These adjectives have to make sense. A teacher can use it as a quiz, (come up with their own number of adjectives to add and score accordingly) or a worksheet or homework. This has worked very well in my class. I used it in my 5th grade class. This can be used for any grad
