Excellent resource to assist students with organizing their writing. Can be used to guide students one step/day at a time before gradually allowing students to gain independence to use the organizers on their own.

This has been a great resource to leave for a sub as our writing curriculum is too difficult for a sub to figure out. However, it coincides and aligns with our writing curriculum.
