My students enjoyed the template of these and using them to expand their paragraph writing. I liked that they came with a variety of prompts. I wish there was an option for two paragraphs as well.

Finding this activity sparked a grade level wide practice of weekly paragraph writing. I could see such an improvement in my students’ abilities to write titles, topic sentences, coherent paragraphs, and closing sentences.

I love this tool for helping writers! The extensive list of ideas for each type of writing is fantastic. I love the separation for each task (brainstorming, the first draft, revising and the final copy). This is a live saver as a virtual teacher!

I used this with my team up kids with tutoring and it was a great way to review and practice the skills focused on and to extend those strategies in a challenging way.
