This resource is newly updated to include our popular Literacy Launch! The Literacy Launch is designed to be taught first and build on the strong writing/reading connection. Right from the start students will be introduced to informational, opinion and narrative texts. As they learn to annotate and analyze the various genres through the lens of an author they will learn the organizational structures, how to summarize text, and the salient features of each text type. This awareness level introduction to writing makes every interaction with text, in all content areas, a proactive reading and pre-writing experience.
This grade-level specific guide includes all of the foundational narrative writing skills and provides everything you need to be successful at teaching narrative, personal experience and response to text writing. Teacher background, detailed lesson plans, reproducible/projectable student pages, sample texts and exemplars are included.
