I used the opinion and non-fiction with my first graders to teach how to write five sentence paragraphs. The mini-books were really great and had four sentence frames that I just added an extra sentence. This was quite efficient. We were focusing on animals so it was perfect.
I will be using the narratives the next two weeks to teach fiction writing during Fairy Tales. I am very excited.

This resource is a huge help during my writing lessons! I found the writing prompt journal pages to be an amazing addition. The mentor text suggestions are amazing. They give me a solid place to start when I’m looking for read-alouds to connect with our lesson.
