Drafting for clarity worksheets for Grade 6 ELA Writing help students examine how a draft communicates a central message through a clear opening, body, and closing. Using an Ontario framework, this resource focuses on logical sequencing, complete sentences, purpose and audience, linking words, and consistent structure.

Shape Ideas Into Clear Drafts

Students identify how the opening, body, and closing of a drafted paragraph work together to communicate a central message. They revise draft ideas so sentences are complete and information follows a logical sequence, building practical skills for clearer and more organized writing.

Make Purposeful Drafting Choices

The resource asks students to consider how drafting choices should match purpose and audience. Practice also focuses on using linking words and maintaining a consistent structure to improve readability, helping students recognize how individual writing choices affect the clarity of a draft.

Apply Skills Across Different Tasks

Students encounter multiple-choice questions, true-or-false questions, short-answer responses, a reading passage, matching, a cloze passage, an essay, and a Did You Know section. These activities give students opportunities to identify effective drafting choices, evaluate organization, revise ideas, and apply writing concepts.
