The reproducible activities in this collection give students guidance in writing for a variety of reasons: to record, to acquire information, to describe their observations, to express reactions, to explain concepts and procedures, and to persuade. The activities also allow students to write creatively, producing stories, poems, and personal narratives.
Through their writing, students will experiment with organization, style, purpose, and audience. The follow-up writing assignments also provide reinforcement. Components of the writing process, such as prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing are also covered in the activities. Chapters include material from math, science, and social studies to help develop writing skills in those content areas.
