Product description

From the author

Do your students need help with the writing process and writing a simple 5 sentence paragraph? This product helps students write a 5 sentence paragraph about their hero. Writing about something personal will help students come up with their ideas more easily. There are two brainstorm/graphic organizer pages included in this product. These will help students get all of their thoughts down before beginning the writing process.

Before beginning, you could have a class discussion about what makes a hero, and why someone might choose a person to be their hero. The first graphic organizer would be good for students to fill out while following along.

I have included some final draft pages for you to use. I also have provided examples of how the graphic organizers might be filled out.

I've posted this product for grades 2nd through 4th. How much guidance you give your students would depend on your class's writing abilities. For second grade, you would most likely guide students through this assignment. For 3rd or 4th graders, they may be able to do more on their own.
