Breaking down writing tasks into smaller parts scaffolds supports for students to set them up for success! Essay writing is much more manageable when broken down into smaller chunks of writing tasks. This product includes sample anchor charts for the parts of an informational response essay and an opinion response essay, and labeled sentence strips for both types of responses that can be given to students one or a few at a time. It has photos of 2 different ways to use the essay building sentence strips. Use these strips in a variety of ways to build essays as slowly as needed. Students can tape the completed strips onto a large piece of construction paper, or put the strips in pockets within an essay building folder. They can even be used as a revising tool! Want a digital version that students can type directly into? Just use the easel activity for that. :) Thanks for downloading!
