Six Writing Styles:

A lesson plan for each of the six writing styles with questions to ask students and a model of what should be written on the board or on chart paper (better to be kept for future reference).

Different worksheets to have students practise each writing category.

The first worksheet is similar to the whole group activity. This worksheet is good for reviewing with all students. It can be assigned to be completed in pairs and with students that might need a little more help and/or more practise.

2-3 worksheets follow to allow students to master the writing category. The students are given specific topics.

Each category has a blank worksheet where the students can decide the title, topic and how she or he will be developing the writing. These worksheets can be used in the Writing Center along with the Writing Tickets and Story Titles.
