Expository Text-Dependent Essay Bundle, Lions, Bees, and Africa, Easel

Get your students ready for state writing tests with three sets of paired passages and informational writing prompts. All three resources include digital versions that can be assigned through Easel for TpT and PDFs that can be printed for in-person learning. Your students will compare and contrast the king of beasts and domestic cats in Lion vs. House Cat. All Abuzz About Bees will get them buzzing about teamwork in a beehive, and West African Customs will take them on an adventure into Ivory Coast to explore a different culture.

Each of the three resources in this bundle include:

• An editable, digital overlay to allow the PDFs to be assigned through Easel for TPT.
• A teacher's guide giving tips specific to that essay as well as general advice on guiding your students through text-dependent writing.
• Two paired passages with expository writing prompts.
• Multiple pre-writing graphic organizers to give you and your students choices
• Lined, themed writing pages
• An editable rubric as well as a print-and-go version
