Guided writing activities will challenge your students to write informative paragraphs on book summaries, travel brochures, and character sketches. Students will also write sequential paragraphs using time and direction words, various types of letters and newspaper articles, and much more. A section on proofreading wraps up the book at the end. All activities are reproducible. Students will use graphic planners, such as webs and Venn diagrams, to organize their thoughts and ideas before writing.
