A Black Friday FLASH FREEBIE!!


Hello and happy Black Friday to you!! I want to pop in for a minute and share my very special Black Friday freebie with you!

All I ask is that you leave feedback in exchange! 

I have a great essay writing pack that helps prep students for their end-of-the-year testing while also developing strong opinion writers! 




This set is perfect for your 5th graders and timely for the "holiday" today! 

With this set...

The students are taken step-by-step through the process! They begin with reading three sources on a common topic. The pages have space in the margins to write notes about their thoughts. Then, they answer constructed response questions to start forming their opinions. Finally, a set of graphic organizers walk them through setting up a strong opinion essay. Lined paper is included for them to publish their essays on! 

This resource meets multiple CCSS! Some standards addressed are:

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.1
Quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.2
Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text.
