Included in this download is a PDF file of:

• Writing Toppers – Students choose from 8 different craft toppers. Students color these, then cut them out and attach to their final draft pages for display.
• Brainstorm Pages (a.k.a. brain maps) – This is to help your students work through their ideas for any of the writing prompts provided. I find that using a brainstorm activity like this first helps students come up with much better and unique ideas! Brainstorm pages with and without prompts are included!
• Practice Sentence Sheets – From the brainstorm I move to the practice sentences worksheet. This helps students go from one or two words to forming complete sentences with correct spelling and punctuation. Primary and regular lined included.
• Final Draft Writing Pages – Once students’ practice sentences look good, they can transfer those sentences onto their final draft paper. I’ve included regular and primary lined paper to match your students’ needs. These writing prompts are included in both portrait and landscape options. The following prompts are included:
  
  “My Favorite Summer Memory”
  “My First Day Of School”
  “My School Year Goals”
  “Guess Who” – They get to describe themselves and see if anyone can guess who they are!
