Literary Analysis Writing Packet

By Shy's Sunshine Room

Description:

  • This is a writing packet meant to help students brainstorm and write their introduction, body, and conclusion paragraphs. I did this with fourth-grade students, and they thrived with the added structure. Let's be honest. Literary Analysis Essays can be so confusing to begin with! The added structure is always a safe route to go! It is my assumption that this will take around two to three weeks to complete depending on classroom factors.

Includes:

  • 6 worksheets containing:

    • One summary worksheet
    • One worksheet for defining the difference between summaries and Literary Analysis
    • One brainstorming and planning sheet
    • One introduction paragraph template
    • One body paragraph template
    • One conclusion paragraph template
    • All pictured in the previews!
  • 1.5 line spacing

  • Added instruction and advice inside

Spider Map Graphic Organizer

By Homeschool with Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

Graphic organizers can be helpful as a visual aid when students are writing.

  • Helps students focus on their thoughts for planning, decision-making, and writing an essay

  • Helps students see the connections, patterns, and relationships between facts, concepts, and ideas 

  • Organizers provide a visual depiction for writers by showing them where each piece of the essay is placed within an essay

Spider maps are used to display the main concept or idea in a circle in the middle of the map and supporting ideas branch off from the main concept circle.

I hope your students/children enjoy this concept map by understanding the importance of why a graphic organizer is needed, as well as understanding the variables of a concept map.

The Spider Map is in Google Slides, Powerpoint, and PDF formats.

Happy Writing!

Imaginative Writing Packet

By Shy's Sunshine Room

Description:

  • This is a packet meant to help students write their own imaginative stories. It contains eleven worksheets that will break down this process. You do not have to use every worksheet in this packet to teach the unit. Some worksheets will seem to cover the exact same concept, only slightly different. However, I realized that everyone has different tastes in how to teach, so I tried to give a few more options. It is difficult to say how long this will take. Every group of students is different. From the start to the final draft, I am assuming it will take two to three weeks.

Includes:

  • 11 different worksheets covering
    • Setting, conflict, resolutions, character, and plot development
    • It begins with asking students to delve into the topics based on their experiences, then moves into brainstorming, designing their own stories, writing their drafts, and adding revisions.
    • Each of my designs is included in the previews! No buying without seeing the whole package!
