Are you looking for a quick and easy way to let your students know what a strong explanatory/informative writing response should include? How about a resource that also gives students help with strengthening the organization of their writing by giving them sentence starters? Look no further than the Explanatory Writing Response Bookmarks and Reference Sheets.These bookmarks are two-sided. One side includes a list of criteria that need to be included in a strong explanatory writing response. The other side includes sentence starters.
This file contains a set of bookmarks for a one paragraph response and multi-paragraph response.The bookmarks can be used for students to self-assess their writing or to peer assess with a writing partner. A great tool to use for any explanatory writing response.
In addition to the bookmarks, there is also a pre-designed reference sheet that includes a learning target, success criteria, writer’s checklist, transition words/phrases, and sentence starters to help students strengthen their writing. A blank template is included so that teachers can customize the criteria and writer’s checklist to fit the needs of their students.
