Writing of the Week The Bundle
Writing of the Week The Bundle
Have your students outgrown the Paragraph of the Week? Some of my students did. They were ready for the next step, Writing of the Week!
This resource uses a similar format from my Paragraph of the Week products. However, the difference is that the students are now expected to write 3 paragraphs (or more) with an introduction and conclusion section. ✐
I call this an extension product because it uses the same prompts that are in my Paragraph of the Week product. This product can be given to your high flying writers, while the Paragraph of the Week can be used by writers still developing mastery of paragraphs. It is fabulous that the whole class is writing about the same topic. You will love ❤️ the differentiation you are providing.
This structured, consistent approach allows students to focus on writing skills and not the directions. Each week has the same format with a new topic. It is a 4-day format so you can send it as weekly homework or keep it in the classroom. It is successfully used both ways at our school.
✏ Day 1 is gathering thoughts and ideas, then writing the introduction and first paragraph.
✏ Day 2 has the students writing the second and third paragraphs.
✏ Day 3 includes writing the conclusion. Students also reread the paragraphs to revise for organization and word choice.
✏ Day 4 allows the student to write/type the final draft and check for convention errors.
All topics are personal so your students are automatic experts on the content. There is no research to be done to complete these paragraphs. All the content comes from their personal experiences and thoughts.

When I purchased this product I was assuming it would be like sample. I was extremely disappointed to find out that the format of each week was different than the one my students had gotten used to (day 1 brainstorm, day 2 details, day 3 intro and conclusion, day 4 final copy). However, Chalk Star was very quick to remedy the problem by apologizing and emailing me the product I intended to purchase. Very understanding and accommodating!
