Skills & Standards

Aligned with the Ontario framework, these materials emphasize crosscutting concepts such as patterns in craft choices and systems thinking in the writing process. Students develop disciplinary core ideas in ELA—purpose, craft (style and voice), structure (paragraphing and cohesion), and conventions (grammar and clarity). Through brief modeling, students see how strong writing decisions connect to evidence from reading, then practice analytical reasoning to revise drafts and justify changes with evidence-based explanations.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

Use this lesson bundle for multi-day pacing by assigning one worksheet per day (or rotating 2–3 per week for centers), then pairing each page with a short draft, revise, or reflection routine. For example, after the paragraph structure worksheet, have students apply the structure to one paragraph from their current assignment; after editing and cohesion worksheets, conduct a targeted revision sprint using a student-friendly checklist. You can also collect completed pages as quick formative checks to plan conferencing groups.
