Writing Process Posters Engineering Themed

By Science and STEAM Team

Each writing poster has the stage of the writing process in bold letters, along with instructions for what should be done at each stage. These writing posters will help you and your students keep track of where they are during writer's workshop. I laminate and hang the posters as well as prepare clothespins with each child's name on one. As a child works on a piece of writing his/her clip is moved to the appropriate stage of the writing process.
