Scaffolded 5 Paragraph Essay Outline / Organizer
This 5-paragraph essay organizer is a helpful tool for students who need significant scaffolding and support. It can be used with students from middle school through high school. Many of the 9th graders at the urban high school where I teach benefit from such a highly structured format---at least for their first essay of the year. I've discovered that if you give a student a box, she is likely to write in it. Simply having a box to fill for every sentence of the essay makes the task feel less d

Writing Journalism Self Editing Self Check Handout {Editable}
Journalism Writing Self-Editing/Self-Check Handout for Students - offered in Microsoft Word so you can customize it!
Do you have time to edit students' rough drafts? Isn't reading & grading final drafts time consuming enough? Do math teachers pre-grade homework & tests, turn them back to the student so the student can make corrections, then read & grade them all over again? Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it!?
That's why I'm a firm believer in self-checking and self-editing, as well
