Drafting for purpose and clarity worksheets for Grade 6 ELA Writing help students develop drafts that communicate a central message through a clear opening, body, and closing. This Ontario resource focuses on sentence choices, logical sequencing, complete sentences, transitions, purpose, audience, and evidence.

Develop Clear, Organized Drafts

Students examine how the opening, body, and closing of a draft work together to support a central message. They select sentence and sequencing choices that improve readability and revise a draft plan by adding complete sentences and logical transitions.

Connect Writing Choices to Purpose

Drafting becomes more purposeful as students consider how writing choices serve a specific purpose and audience. Students also use evidence from a draft to explain how the developing writing meets its intended purpose and audience.

Practice Through Varied Activities

The worksheet includes 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. Students use these activities to identify effective structure, evaluate sentence and sequencing choices, revise draft ideas, and explain how evidence supports purpose and audience.

Included Support

• Student Notes & Lesson Summary supplement
• Separate Teacher Guide PDF with Learning Objectives, Teaching Tips, Discussion Questions, and Common Mistakes
