Using writing folders saved my writing block. It's so frustrating (for me and the students) to be in the middle of a writing project, only to have a student say, "I can't find my paper." Writing folders have helped us all stay on track and organized! In late summer, as soon as Walmart and Target stock their Back-to-School aisle I look for their specials on pocket folders. I can usually find them priced at 10 for $1. That's when I put my writing folders together. They are a super handy way for students to keep their writing projects organized. Putting two folders together gives you 4 pockets, which is perfect for the steps in the writing project. What I love the most about these folders is they are so easy for the students to use. Whether they're working on their pre-writing with graphic organizers, drawing a picture, or working with a partner during the revising stage, they can store all of the pages they need in a writing folder. The pockets hold everything they need as they work through the writing process. The first pocket holds the writing prompt, organizers, sketches, or anything else they need to begin planning their writing piece. The second pocket holds the pages they use for writing the first draft of their writing. This pocket can also hold any notes or special instructions they need for a particular writing assignment. As they move through each step of the process they move their paper to the next pocket. The center of the folder (between pocket 2 and 3) is a great place to affix any writing tips or lists the writer may need. I like to include characteristics of the traits of good writing, along with common synonyms and homophone lists. The third pocket is where students keep their writing as they work on revising and editing. The pocket can hold any checklists the writer needs as they work on improving their writing. The fourth and final pocket will hold whatever the student needs as they work on publishing their piece of writing. After the final copy is finished, either rewritten by hand or printed from a computer, it can be placed in this pocket. The students turn in their entire folder when it's ready to be evaluated. It's nice to see all of the parts of the writing process as you evaluate their final writing. Once this writing project is completed, the pieces of work for this writing process can be stapled together. It's a great way for students to see how their writing grew and improved throughout the writing process. This completed packet can be kept in a portfolio until the end of the year. The folders can be stored in a box or basket. Storing the student writing folders in a central location makes it convenient for both students and the teacher. I often look through the folders to check on a student's progress. One of the best things about these folders is fewer students mysteriously lose their papers through the writing process. Making the Writing Folders To make the writing folder you need: 2 pocket folders without the center prongs. long-arm stapler pocket labels for Pre-writing, Drafting, Revising/Editing, and Publishing. Optional for the center, writer's tips and word lists Open the folders and put them together with the pockets facing each other. Staple along the fold, from the outside folder. That way, the staple ends will be on the inside of the finished folder. The folder should open up so you see two pockets, then the blank center section, and finally, two more pockets. Now you can add a cover, the pocket labels. The blank center section is a great place to add any word lists or writer's tips your students might need. These references are handy for your students to use all year. Another option is to laminate the pocket folders before you staple them together. If you choose to do this, make sure you add the labels, cover, and writer's tips and lists before you laminate. After you laminate them, staple the two folders together. You may be able to use the laminated folders for two or three years. The printable labels, tips, lists, and folder covers are included in my Writer's Folder and Checklists resource. It has lots of choices for the cover, plus checklists your writers can use when they're revising and editing their work.

How I Used this Product In my 3rd Grade classroom, I used multiple copies of the same book or books and paired students in partnerships. In my school, we have a 30 minute Reading Intervention Block. I began this project with students who were not pulled out or working with me in small groups during this time. This was a nice way for students to work independently or in partnerships. It also created an extension for what they could already do as readers. Plus, they had so much fun! I let them work on this project in their partnerships. This held several benefits. Many students who were not pulled out or working in small groups tend to be higher level students OR students who have untapped potential. Allowing them to work on a project like this can extend their learning, as well as find new ways to enjoy reading. While other students had special groups or went to see other teachers, it was nice for these students to have their own project too. The Poster Page is a template that you could use for students to turn in with the essay or you could use this as a planning page and then have students create a larger poster on their own. I assigned it as homework and was pleasantly surprised at what my students turned in. I saw a wonderful increase in engagement by students who had shown little motivation or enthusiasm for reading. You can see the photos in the preview or in the product itself. Please know I updated the pages after the photos were taken with more detail and provided the poster template.

Real talk: classroom management has always been my biggest struggle as a teacher. I think that this is true for a lot of teachers. It’s one thing to read about classroom management strategies in a college classroom, but it’s a whole other ballgame when you’re standing in front of a roomful of middle schoolers and you are somehow expected to keep them all in line! I’ve had a few tough groups over my first few years, and I needed something to up my classroom management game. The classroom management strategy I’m going to share with you today has been a total game-changer for me, and I hope it can help you, too! This strategy is called Behavior Bingo. To implement it, you will need a 10×10 chart numbered from 1-100. I used to draw mine out on big chart paper, but I’ve since created this handy printable board so that I don’t have to draw it out each time! You will also need 100 popsicle sticks each labeled with a number from 1-100. I keep these in one of those metal pails from Target, and you will also need another pail for the sticks to go in once you have pulled them. You will need a board and set of numbers for each class you are using this with – I have used it with up to 4 classes at once! I marked each class’s set of sticks with a different color and then discarded them all into the same tub. If you don’t want to buy or have to label all the popsicle sticks, I have also seen teachers use small slips of paper numbered 1-100, or even just a random number generator online! Here are the rules that I use: The object of the game is to get 10 numbers in a row (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) and get a bingo. At the start of each class, I write the numbers 1 2 3 on the front whiteboard. During class, I erase a number any time the students are not meeting my expectations, starting with 3, then 2, then 1. At the end of class, however many numbers are left on the board is how many popsicle sticks they get to pull that day. For example, if only the 3 was erased, then they get to pull 2 popsicle sticks. They can earn up to 3 numbers each day. The students pull out the correct number of sticks for that day. I let them take turns. I hold the jar up above their heads so they can’t peek inside. Then I color in the numbers that were pulled on the bingo board. You can certainly adjust these rules to meet your needs. For instance, you could use a smaller or bigger bingo board, depending on how quickly you want them to earn their reward. With the 10×10 board, it usually takes 1-2 months to earn the reward. You could also adjust how many numbers they can earn each day. Another thing you could do is tie the numbers to specific goals. For instance, my students know that at the beginning of class they need to be in their seats with homework out and working on their warmup. If this doesn’t happen, they know I will erase a number. As for the reward, we choose this as a class before beginning the game. I have the students brainstorm ideas (I tell them that they need to be something either relatively inexpensive or free and can only take up about 20-30 minutes of class time) and list them all on the board. Then I have the students vote for their top two choices. Some ideas we have come up with in the past include an ice cream party (I bring the ice cream, they bring the toppings), root beer float party, time outside, free time, board games, donut party, dodgeball, or popcorn and a short movie. I write their choice at the bottom of the bingo board as a reminder of what we are working toward. And that’s it! It’s very easy to keep it running, and it has been very motivating to my students, especially when they are down to only one number left for the day. You can find the printable board that I use in my Teachers Pay Teachers store if you’re interested! Do you have any awesome classroom management strategies? I would love to hear about them in the comments!
