Writing Foundational Skills
Arizona ELA Standard: 5.W.2.c
Link ideas within and across categories of information using words, phrases, and clauses (e.g., in contrast, especially).
Categorize and Re-Categorize Countries
Put these countries into groups. Then do it again. Then… do it one more time. How does re-re-grouping the same places reveal new patterns and give new insights?
Writing Technique: Opposite Adjectives
A specific technique to help students add some spice to their writing. We’ll be using antonyms to describe the same topic!
Simple or Compound Sentences – What’s In My Brain?
Can your students spot simple sentences vs compound sentences?
Upgrading Compare and Contrast Writing
Upgrade compare and contrast writing with just a couple of key words.
Content Imperatives: Paradox
How can one idea pull in opposite directions, being both true and false or right and wrong at the same time? It’s time to explore Paradoxes!
Content Imperatives: Parallel
Get students thinking broadly by exploring similarities across multiple topics. Combine with Depth and Complexity for bonus points!
