Narrative Revising and Editing Checklist (Self and Peer)
This checklist is used after students have written narrative stories. They will go through their stories with the checklist independently first. Then they will have a classmate use the same checklist to read their story. At the end, the peer can leave comments with advice and feedback. This has been helpful in building independence during writing, rather than having a line waiting for me to read their stories!

Introduction to Writing Hook Sentences
My third graders are learning how to make our writing more exciting this week, so I made this as an introduction. The first page is for them to do with me as a class and glue into their Writer's Notebooks. The next pages are for them to practice on their own. I wanted to focus on three types of hooks: asking a question, stating a fact, and painting a picture. There are many other types, but in the interest of not overwhelming them, I chose these three types. Enjoy!

If I had $100... Creative Writing Prompt
Lovely Lauren says,
You've got to grab this great writing prompt for the 100th day of school! To celebrate all things 100, I thought giving your students $100 dollars would suffice! :)
Brainstorm with children what they would do with $100 dollars and just see what kind of creative responses you get!
Your kids will have to chance to have their face on a $100 bill! They could draw themselves, or you can take a picture of them and attach it for some added pizzaz!

Adjective Paragraph Help Students learn to add adjectives in writing
This worksheet that I made up is a paragraph written with no adjectives. The students can see how it can be "boring" and what a difference adjectives make. They then have to re-write the paragraph and add their own adjectives. These adjectives have to make sense. A teacher can use it as a quiz, (come up with their own number of adjectives to add and score accordingly) or a worksheet or homework. This has worked very well in my class. I used it in my 5th grade class. This can be used for any grad
