4th Grade Expository Writing Outline and Checklist
I made this quick outline or "cheat sheet" as a guide for my students. Also included is a checklist for students to use as they write and one for you to use as you score compositions. I re-sized the checklist and Texas Teaching Fanatic's Expository Writing rubric to 50%, added two to a page, and simply attach them to the compositions as I score. Easy, peasy! Print on white to use with Flair pens :) or print on Astrobrights paper for a POP of color!

Ontario Writing Rubric & Achievment Chart Grade 1-8

For the achievement chart I use Growing Success and the Language document both from the Ontario Ministry of Education. Yes in the both documents they have rubrics and chart but I make my own using their information so that I can use it in any grad

Writing a topic sentence...
My kiddos have been struggling with this skill, so I wrote three quick paragraphs to have them practice writing a topic sentence.
Answers can vary, so I did not include a key.
After having them complete this activity, I put some up anonymously on the document camera and we discussed whether or not they were acceptable topic sentences.
Please leave feedback! Thanks!
