Argument, narrative, and informative essays are fun and easy to teach when you use strong mentor texts and a step-by-step process. These highly-rated writing units include everything you need, all in one place.

This is what awesome teachers like you have said about this resource:

• Tons of resources that I go back to again and again! Really impressed with this! Having the digital versions is a huge plus as well.
• This resource is so well laid out, I was able to print and go. The many examples of how to structure each type of writing really helped my students see what was expected of them when they went to complete the accompanying assignments.
• I have used this resource a TON in my 6th grade classroom. The lessons are well-thought-out and provide step-by-step instructions to help students with their writing. It is very comprehensive, and I wouldn’t want to teach any of these types of writing without it!
• I LOVE this product. I saw the most phenomenal writing from my students using this as a guide for my instruction. The argument essays from my students this year were far better than any I have seen. The structure was so helpful for them. THANK YOU!!!
