Students need explicit instruction and practice writing clear and thoughtful sentences. The resource was purposely designed for flexibility. Each sentence skill includes differentiated activities. You can use the activities individually and use as little or as many as you would like from each sentence-level skill! You can also choose the pages you would like your students to practice and work on and staple them together in a packet that uses the optional writing title or cover page!
This resource is aligned to the Hochman Method, which is the method that is used and explained in the book, The Writing Revolution.
