Teaching Writing Through Differentiated Instruction with Leveled Graphic Organizers

The book arrived and although the packaging was in tact, the book cover and some of the pagers were covered in an unidentified substance.

Easily applied in teaching

So excited to use. It's not letting me upload pics but will when I can. Very clear how to use instructions, models you can use with your kids and then three different levels of difficulty for each writing assignment. We homeschool and my kids 2 thru 8 grade hate hate hate writing and do have some trouble organizing their ideas. This will come in very handy. Better then I expected it to be. Great topics like writing paragraphs, character development, compare contrast, etc. It's meant to be reproducible, so u will need a printer. Does not have them write the essay in it, merely organize the writing of it.

The graphic organizers in this book were very helpful. Some of the most important parts of teaching writing, are to have effective maps and models for the students to use while they are learning new tasks. It was helpful to have ideas at my fingertips.

Graphic organizers are a critical part of teaching students to use the pre-writing phase. It helps them to get their thoughts down and to give order and focus to their writing. These reproducible worksheets are ready to go for a variety of different types of writing exercises. The authors have done a "tiered" approach so that there are 3 levels of organizers for all activities. Therefore, the book has a broader range of who it will serve. Mainly aimed at elementary (in my opinion) it could be used for some 7th and 8th graders. Topics covered range from as basic as paragraph formation to things such as: voice, dialogue, descriptive language, different types of essays, and more! Also included is some info for the teacher to give suggestions on how to use the organizers. This is NOT an all inclusive type writing program, but definitely a helpful addition to your resource shelf.
