Included in this download is a PDF file of:
- Writing Toppers – Students choose from 6 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. The following prompts are included:
“Dear Mr. Groundhog” – Student’s can write a letter to the groundhog trying to convince him to see or not see his shadow.“I Predict the Groundhog” – Let them try to predict what he will see.“All about Groundhog Day” – If you teach them a lesson on groundhog day you can use this as a review.“All about Punxsutawney Phil” – Your student’s will get a kick out of his name and writing about what they have learned about him!
