Informational Writing Graphic Organizer for Five Paragraph Essays

This is a simple graphic organizer I use with students learning to structure their five paragraph informational essays. It gives students sentence starters and transition words that align to the Common Core. Once students use this graphic organizer to site information and organize their information consistently, they will be able to write without the organizer. I see them use either the same or different transition words but understand the format in which to write to convey their ideas.
