How to Teach Essays is a systematic approach to teaching multi-paragraph essays. This step-by-step program provides all the resources that upper elementary, middle school, and high school teachers need to teach students how to write the CCSS W.1 argumentative and W.2 informational/explanatory essays. Students complete 42 skill-based essay strategy worksheets, beginning with simple 3-word paragraphs and proceeding to complex multi-paragraph essays.

As the commercial says, "Have it Your Way." Choose among these format options in your download: printed worksheets, fillable PDFs, or Google slides.

Each essay strategy worksheet emphasizes a different essay skill, and one skill builds upon another. Students will master topic sentences, support details (including 8 different types of evidence and analysis), 8 different body paragraph structures, thesis statements, 8 introduction strategies, and 8 conclusion strategies. Students will also learn the art of sentence revision with 16 different grammatical sentence openers introduced throughout the program.

The program is simple to teach. Read the two-page “Learn How to Teach This Program in 10 Minutes” and get started. No prep! While students are writing, the teacher mini-conferences with each student upon completion of every essay strategy worksheet. This brief writing conference works equally well in person, via ZOOM, or with Google comments in Google slides. The teacher suggests edits and revisions, as needed, and the students revise accordingly. When students master a worksheet, they move on to the next one.                                                                                         

The program provides class management tips to motivate your students and maintain a productive work environment. Teachers spend their time discussing and marking essays with their student writers. Absolutely no grading is done outside of the student-teacher writing conferences. Students get quality one-on-one time with their teacher and benefit from this individualized instruction.

How to Teach Essays is a flexible program. Teachers may choose to substitute their own writing prompts for those in the program. Additionally, teachers may complete the program in one semester, allotting 20 minutes per day, 4 days per week, or spread out the instruction over the entire year.   

Writing Posters

Get 59 colorful digital writing posters (8.5 x 11 for easy printing) to serve as anchor charts to teach and reinforce the key instructional components of the program. Laminate and post these and you'll have the best-looking classroom walls in your school.

Check out these printable and digital companion programs: Eight Writing Process Essays applies the skills learned in How to Teach Essays to write four argumentative (CCSS W.1) and four informational/explanatory (CCSS W.2) writing process essays with connected reading resources, graphic organizers, response-revision-edit resources, and analytical (not holistic) rubrics. Essay Skills Worksheets provides differentiated practice for both remedial and advanced writing skill development.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
