Notes & Outline Standardize Test Writing Prompts LEAP 2025 PARCC English 9-10

It is that time of year again. You know the time of year when you are pulling out your hair and trying to find the most concise way to review strategies for responding to standardized test writing prompts with students. This document was born out of a desire to provide my students with as much support and examples as in a single document. I wanted to give them something they could use in their future English courses. I created this document through active research in my classroom and by identifying and analyzing gaps in students' learning and curriculum. I hope this document saves you time and helps students succeed.
