What educators are saying

My students already had an idea of the 5 paragraph structure, so this was great reinforcement and we jumped into the next writing unit. Thanks!
Highly recommend this resource! My sister-in-law told me about it as she uses it in her classroom at school. I decided to try it at home with my daughter. The instructions are very clear and easy to understand. My daughter has enjoyed it so far. We are still working through each section.

Description

Five paragraph essays have never been easier to teach! This instructional unit contains everything you need to take your students from sentence writers to five paragraph essay authors!

I love the process of teaching writing to my students. They begin the year with short, incomplete sentences but by the time I’m done with them, they can write excellent five paragraph essays. I have had many teachers ask me to share my process for teaching the five paragraph essay. Until this point, I haven’t had any guides or worksheets to share with them because it was just an internal knowledge for me. So, I took the time to create this guide and detail my process for teaching writing. You will find everything you need to teach and assess five paragraph essays! I hope this product is helpful to you in your classroom and that your students benefit from using it!

This blog post will help as you dive into five paragraph essays with your students!
