Feature Article Research Paper Writing Workshop PRINT & DIGITAL

Description

Say the words “research paper” to middle school students and their groans will echo through the school like a yodel in the Grand Canyon. Introduce the term feature article, and you have a fighting chance of piquing their curiosity. I promise you, it won’t take long before your students are totally hooked on the assignment!

Digital Google Drive Version AND Print Version are BOTH Included

Feature articles are my FAVORITE genre of informational writing! These short, researched pieces are written to inform and entertain the audience. They’re engaging, visual, and perfect for middle school students. Best yet, they incorporate many of the writing skills we want students to perfect throughout the year.

This writer’s workshop unit is easy to use and includes everything you will need to teach students how to write a fantastic feature article.
