Description

Paired Passages/Paired Texts are showing up on reading and writing assessments all over the country! This resource contains everything you need to successfully guide students through the process of using paired passages to create an essay or other type of writing.

I included multiple prompts and activities using the same two paired passages so that teachers and students will have a variety of writing choices.
