Insects, Dinosaurs, and Bears....Research Writing Report Units....Oh my!

One of the biggest new challenges of ELA Common Core this year has been the rigorous amount of writing. Don't get me wrong...I love teaching writing and I truly value writing! However, I have found myself trying to find new and exciting ways to incorporate daily writing with my students. One of my students favorite activities this year has been working on "research" reports. I have sent them home as homework, used them as part of my writing process, and used them  as a whole group demonstration on how to do research.

Here are some of the research reports that I have developed! Click on the picture to get to the link at my Teachers Pay Teachers store!!! 

 

Each report unit contains:

- Report Cover Page (colored and black and white)

- KWL Graphic Organizer

- Can-Has-Is organizer

- Research Report

- Label and draw it

- Opinion Writing organizer

- Writing template

[ELA Common Core standards: W.K.1, W.K.2, W.K.3, W.K.6, W.1.1, W.1.6, W.1.8, W.2.1, W.2.6]

* The insect report and writing is one of my best selling units!  *

 

 

I hope you find these helpful! Enjoy!
