Description
Work with students on paragraph writing with these simple, no-frills graphic organizers, designed specifically for students in self-contained special education classes. These FIVE Google Docs and SIX printable PDFs align with each other and are perfect for hybrid teaching! Simple student and teacher rubrics are already included within the worksheets! These templates give my students just the right amount of scaffolding and structure, and they can be easily edited as they improve. I use these in my hybrid classroom for weekly writing practice.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
1) 60 unique prompts (printable PDF) for opinion, informational, and narrative writing. Suggestions for use included on the first page!
2) Paragraph Writing Graphic Organizers + Rubrics (Google Docs AND Printable PDFs)
A) Brainstorming graphic organizer
B) Draft writing template + student checklist
C) Final draft template + teacher grading rubric
There are 4 differentiated levels of graphic organizers, which are easy for you to adapt further on Google Docs!
· 4 sentence paragraph
· 4 sentence paragraph with sentence starters
· 6 sentence paragraph, hamburger-style with sentence starters
· 6 sentence paragraph, hamburger-style
The carefully-done, straight-forward formatting creates structure and ease of access for your students, as well as easy teacher customization.
· Any yellow box on a Google Doc is where a student should click and type.
· Any gray box is where a teacher will type or write sentence starters.
· The lines do not move when you type on them!
· Easily adapt your templates for specific students as needed. Delete sentence boxes. Copy and paste more sentence boxes. Add in word banks for some students. Adjust the language in the rubrics to meet the needs of your students. Please reach out to me if you need ideas or help!
THINGS TO TAKE NOTE OF:
* If using Google Docs, please remember to “make a copy” of each of your documents before you share with your students! This way you will retain your blank templates for future use.
* To PRINT the PDF worksheets from your Drive, click the “download” button (looks like a downward-pointing arrow in the top right corner). Do NOT click “Open with Google Docs” if you are trying to PRINT it!
