    About this ebook

    Take the fear out of writing essays and empower your students by giving them the tools to comprehensively express their point of view. Our resource breaks down the writing process while exploring the four different kinds of essays. Start off by learning what is an essay before using graphic organizers to help during the prewriting process. Continue this understanding with drafting by completing an informal outline. Then, go into great detail when describing something with descriptive essays. Learn how to tell a story with narrative essays. Explain a difficult subject more easily with informative or expository essays. Find out how to change someone's mind with persuasive essays. Finish up the unit with revising, proofreading and editing practice. Aligned to your State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy, reproducible writing tasks, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
