Teaching Writing Through Differentiated Instruction With Leveled Graphic Organizers (Teaching Strategies)

So excited to use. It's not letting me upload pics but will when I can. Very clear how to use instructions, models you can use with your kids and then three different levels of difficulty for each writing assignment. We homeschool and my kids 2 thru 8 grade hate hate hate writing and do have some trouble organizing their ideas. This will come in very handy. Better then I expected it to be. Great topics like writing paragraphs, character development, compare contrast, etc. It's meant to be reproducible, so u will need a printer. Does not have them write the essay in it, merely organize the writing of it.

Graphic organizers are a critical part of teaching students to use the pre-writing phase. It helps them to get their thoughts down and to give order and focus to their writing. These reproducible worksheets are ready to go for a variety of different types of writing exercises. The authors have done a "tiered" approach so that there are 3 levels of organizers for all activities. Therefore, the book has a broader range of who it will serve. Mainly aimed at elementary (in my opinion) it could be used for some 7th and 8th graders. Topics covered range from as basic as paragraph formation to things such as: voice, dialogue, descriptive language, different types of essays, and more! Also included is some info for the teacher to give suggestions on how to use the organizers. This is NOT an all inclusive type writing program, but definitely a helpful addition to your resource shelf.

Having differentiated worksheets is very helpful when teaching classrooms with different level students. Worksheets looked similar enough that they didn't really know others had a different one. I like that they can be used over and over again as any graphic organizer should be able to do. Working with secondary high school ESL students, these differentiated writing organizers allow students who aren't familiar with different types of paragraph writing to have support through the writing process.

Great resource for differentiating instruction. I don't like to "recreate the wheel", which is what you have to do from time to time when you are differentiating for lower level or high level students. My classroom consist of low level ESOL students, students who are on grade level, and gifted students. Now I can easily meet all of their needs. This resources saves me so much time. I highly recommend it.

I used this book to teach differentiation to my students.

This is a very good review of any graphic organizer you need for writing. Writing is a difficult subjecf to teach so the organizers help with all levels. I use them for sixth graders as well as juniors in high school.

This resource provides some helpful hints for writing teachers.

This workbook is a must have for any middle school language arts classroom. It incorporates the basic necessary elements needed to develop and nurture growing writers. So many times teachers give assignments but do not develop the scaffolding for students to climb the ladder to success along the way. This will help you do that very things for your students.
