• 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.

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

It's one thing to tell students that their papers need to be in MLA format, but it's another to actually give them an example AND the steps to make those adjustments. This comprehensive checklist is a perfect tool to help your students learn for themselves in our digital world - starting with adjusting their essays to MLA format on Google Docs!

What is this resource?

This resource provides students with a labeled example of an essay written in MLA format, as well as a step-by-step guide on how to make each adjustment in Google Docs. This guide even includes icon images so students can get a visual of what these tools look like!

How do I use this in my classroom?

In my writing units, I format the students' rough drafts before I assign it to them on Google Classroom, but they have to format their papers themselves when it comes time for them to type up their final drafts. I give them this checklist when I first assign the Final Draft assignment and give them time to follow the steps themselves. I facilitate and answer questions as needed.

What's Included?

• A Comprehensive Checklist of steps to follow in order to adjust an essay to be in MLA format on Google Docs - in color!
• Black & White option of the Checklist
• A clearly-labeled example of an essay typed in MLA format

Description:

• This product is meant to provide scaffolding for students who are writing a Persuasive Essay. It has helped my students write almost twice as fast, now that they had very specific boundaries and structure. The Short-Writes helped my students realize just how varied and strong their opinions were. They created a stepping stone that set up the next step of brainstorming and writing their Introductions. The Introductions, Body Paragraphs, and Conclusions templates are easily stapled together as the writing process continues. When it comes to writing their Final Draft, this progression allows the students to do so with ample ease.

Includes:

• 4 Short-Write templates

  • Topics covered: Things I Love, Things That Bug Me, Things That Should Change, and Things I Am Passionate About

• Introduction, Body Paragraph, and Conclusion templates

  • Body paragraphs contain space for 4 paragraphs

• Instructions and suggestions

• Possible resources

• Examples

• Everything included in this packet is featured in the thumbnails!

Time:

• I would suggest using these templates over a space of a few days. My class got through this in about a week with everything in this package. Now, we have our Final Draft to finish, so it might be a good plan to count on this entire process taking two weeks, depending on your students' ages.

Your feedback is appreciated!
