Improve Writing--Make it More Engaging

This year has been an interesting year for writing in my classroom.  I have found that graphic organizers need to be very detailed in order to get the type of writing I expect.  No more 'let's just do a web' type graphic organizers...the graphic organizers I am creating these days are more prescriptic in order to hold my students more accountable.  And...the exciting thing is that my students are using these to meet my expectations!  In celebration of this, I thought I would include some of my graphic organizers in a packet as a gift to you!  Enjoy!
