❤️ Three Differentiated Writing Packets

❤️ We Beat The Street BUNDLE

*********************************

In We Beat The Street, Sampson, Rameck, and George live in dangerous and underprivileged neighborhoods in Newark, New Jersey. The three boys grow up surrounded by violence, drugs, and gang activity. All three of the authors experience challenges that they must overcome to get an education and be successful.

⭐ For this essay assignment, you can either have students:

• write an essay about one challenge EACH individual faced in the SAME essay and analyze how each individual overcame their challenge. This essay is about all three individuals. Students can dedicate one paragraph to each author. (A differentiated version is included for this option.)
• write an essay about two challenges ONE individual faced and how he overcame it. This essay is about one individual only.

⭐ Graphic Organizers are included to assist students in gathering evidence and supporting their analysis.

⭐ Rubrics (in 3 variations) are included to assess students' writing. I also included editable versions of all three Rubrics in case you want to modify it.

⭐ Bulletin Board Task Display Pages have been included for each essay worksheet, so you can display the task on your bulletin board when showcasing student work!

⭐ Reflection Sheet included for students to reflect about the writing process and set goals for improvement!

⭐ This resource is included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each worksheet slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.
