What educators are saying

This resource is one of the most beneficial lessons I have used in my writing instruction. My students struggle so much with formal style in their writing. The scaffolding and examples in this product clarified so much for them, I saw an improvement in their writing on the last essay.
The material provided was well-made and thoughtfully designed, making them highly suitable for my students. My students were genuinely engaged and able to understand the concept. I highly recommend this resource.

Description

This Formal VS Informal Writing Lesson and Activities will help your students with that challenging task of writing formally. My students have such a hard time with letting go of those personal pronouns, and getting rid of the "writing about your writing" language. How many essays have we read where students start with: "have you ever wondered about..." It drives this ELA teacher a little batty. I created this unit to help students get away from that informal language. This lesson is digital and printable and will work well for distance learning.

This lesson will cover:

- Slang/jargon

- Conversational writing

- The dreaded texting language

- Writing about your writing lesson

- Formal writing lesson

- Formal words (ex. changing a lot into a significant amount, etc)

- Lesson on the process of changing sentences and paragraphs from informal to formal writing.

- Three pages of practice and assessment.
