Your students get to design the ugliest Christmas sweater they can think of, and then write about it. First they read a short sweater passage and answer questions about it. Next they warm up with vocabulary words they can use in their own writing. A graphic organizer helps them plan, and they finish in a foldable book.
Grades 1, 2 and 3 each have their own pages. Sentence starters and a word bank help students who get stuck. Open-ended prompts let strong writers add more detail.
Students practice finding the main idea, answering text questions, using new words in writing, and descriptive and narrative writing.

Why I made these
I taught third grade for seven years and have homeschooled my own kids for twelve. Writing time goes better when kids have a clear place to start. I made these so students get that support and finish with something they're proud to share.
