Writing Stoplight!

 

Our Step Up To Writing curriculum teaches kids to write simple paragraphs in fun and memorable ways!  The 3 colors of the traffic light help us to remember key ideas. 

• Green- Topic Sentence:  Tells the reader what I am going to share, describe, explain, or prove.
• Yellow- Slow Down:  Support the topic with good details using reasons or interesting facts.
• Red- Give Examples:  Explanations and evidence bring paragraphs to life! 
• Green- Conclusion:  Use the topic sentence to remind the reader of the topic.

As we continue to grow as writers, this Writing Stoplight will prove to be very handy :)
