Writing Checklists
Writing Checklists are one of the best ways you can help your students become independent writers, revisers, and editors. When it comes to checklists, it is best to switch it up. When students get used to one checklist, they stop reading carefully and start mindlessly checking boxes. So, I have included a variety of checklists for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.

Expository Text Writing Graphic Planning Organizers
My philosophy on teaching is that if kids can’t learn the way we teach, we must teach them the way they learn.
Expository writing is a difficult process for many students. I developed this Planning Organizer several years ago and have used it with my fourth graders ever since. Writer’s block happens often when kids are staring at a blank piece of composition paper, but when they are given the structure with which to write, the “creative juices” can flow once again. It is amazing how much mo
