Argument Essay Graphic Organizer Rough Draft with Sentence Frames
Many students have trouble organizing an essay so I created this graphic organizer with sentence frames for students to fill in their thoughts. Normally, I print two copies. With the first copy, I model for the students and have them copy my writing. Then, with the second copy, they can work in pairs or independently to complete the organizer. I usually use this as a rough draft.
I recommend the students already have their 3 pieces of supporting evidence chosen prior to using this graphic organi

Biography Essay Rubric
A simple essay rubric that I use for biographies.In my school my students can sometimes be absent for longer periods of time, so I generally assign them mini-research projects/essays where I can be a little bit more indirect with the learning and not teach from a textbook. That being said, this rubric often can be used for English as well as History. It's a bit informal, but also creative at the same time, and I find it hits a lot of areas both subjects try to focus on.As with all of my products

Six Traits Literary Analysis Rubric
I use this rubric in my A.P. Literature class; it can be used in any high-school English class, but because it emphasizes the use of a complex thesis statement, it's more appropriate for the upper grades (11th and 12th). Before assessing student essays using this rubric, I give them ample instruction in developing complex thesis statements, selecting effective quotes that don't summarize the plot, and integrating quotations into their analysis. Several of my other handouts go toward building e

A Generic Five Paragraph Essay Template and Example
Look, formulaic writing isn't the ideal scenario, especially when we work so hard to empower students and their expression through writing, but the fact remains that some students have to start with structure before they know what to do or where to go next in their writing. This five paragraph essay explains the purpose for each individual sentence in an essay and stylistic suggestions for those left-brained students who have to see how it all could fit together.

One of These Days - Close Reading & Writing Prompt
One of These Days, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, is the true image of a short story. Less than three pages and under 1000 words, yet packed with so much action. As such, it can be devoured in a single class period by any middle school or high school class. I started making this resource with my 8th grade class in mind. For that reason, the marginal questions appear to be more surface level with the focus on imagery and characterization. However, the more I read and annotated myself, the more I real
