  • Join to access all included materials

If you are interested in having a basic framework for teaching expository, narrative, persuasive, and descriptive writing, this resource may help; however, you will have to find information on the different forms of writing to share with your class. Additionally, there are no specific requirements for the different writing assignments, nor specific rubrics. This is a four-week plan that could easily be divided into four, one-week lessons.
