Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits

Teaching with Heart and Creativity

Writing Tool Kit Grades 3-5

The Writing Tool Kit is a versatile resource designed specifically for the 3-5 classroom.  What makes this tool kit so versatile is the way you can incorporate its components into your day!   Whether you need teacher-directed mini-lessons, or independent student station activities, you’ll find what you need!

Writing Toolkit Tunstall

Let’s Break It Down the Writing Tool Kit

First, students don’t improve in writing unless they have time to write!  So to handle this, there are 30 writing prompts that you will display digitally or place on a ring in a station.   Along with that, there’s a set of labels for a spiral, notebook, or my favorite, a composition book.  This will provide a designated place students have to write their responses.  Below you can see both a prompt projected on my computer screen, how it would be on a screen in the front of the classroom or on a tablet or laptop in a station.

Digital Writing Prompts for grades 3-5

Grammar activities can be fun and interactive!  Use these as independent station activities, or teacher-directed lessons.  Students interact with the materials to practice proper grammar.  Plus the answer key makes checking for students or teacher EASY!

interactive grammar activities writing toolkit 3-5

To teach and reinforce grammar concepts, there are 15 different note-taking entries sized for a composition book.  These provide a record of learning which students can refer back to when working through the station activities independently.

Writing Topics

Sometimes students struggle to self-start.  We handle this by providing 24 topic cards with inspiring clipart, while also following those up with a word list which turns the idea into a solid plan for writing.

Templates for Writing

Because not every writing piece is an informal composition book type of writing piece, there are writing template pages included.  Take your students through the writing process or lead them through a formal writing piece using any template you need!

Writing Rubrics

Organize and assess with ease!  These extensive, yet simple-to-use rubrics, will clarify and pinpoint grading writing.  Simply check the boxes in each category to determine the level and determine the overall score.

Please email me directly with your response. What exactly do I purchase from Michaels? Does the suitcase come with the colored “cassette-style” boxes? What is the order number for the right size suitcase and small colored storage boxes for this Writing Station Suitcase set? Thank you so much for your help with this.

The Writer's Toolkit, writing styles

The Writer’s Toolkit: Writing Styles

Apprentices to traditional arts, crafts, and trades spend a lot of time getting to know the tools and techniques of their profession. Through that, they gain confidence and a deep understanding of the best way to work with ease.

Any job is easier to do when you know two things before you begin: what it is you want to create, and the tools you have in your toolkit to help you do it.

Writers have a toolkit, too. It contains five basic writing styles you can use to build a framework for stories and articles: description, narrative, exposition, instruction, and persuasion. Though most writing contains elements of more than one style, one is usually dominant. Which of the styles you select as your main approach will depend on your intention–the reason you are writing and the effect you want your words to have on your reader.

“ Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism, what will be grasped at once. ” – Cyril Connolly in “ Enemies of Promise ” (1938)

Description and narrative fall into Connolly’s “read twice” category, instruction and argumentation into “grasped at once,” with exposition forming a bridge between the two.

Let’s take a quick tour, so you can get to know these writing styles.

Description

Descriptive text presents the physical and non-physical characteristics of living things, objects, and processes, real or imaginary. You’ll use this text style often in your poetry and prose (fiction) writing.

Description is one of the tools you’ll use to write things that people will want to read twice, as Connolly put it. Description is the art of using information about what you can see, hear, taste, touch, and smell to help your reader EXPERIENCE your words.

The aim of description is to reach out and touch your reader’s senses and emotions; to create a relationship between your reader and your writing.

The aim of narrative is to create a structure and order that guide your reader through your text. Narrative answers the “and then…?” question. A narrative text tells a story by presenting actions and events in a logical time order. Most fictional texts are narrative.

Narrative is not as flowery or detailed as description. It presents a more distanced and factual view of events. In narrative, you observe rather than experience the story events.

Exposition is the style of writing we read in newspapers and articles. The aim of exposition is to explain connections, show how something works, or how something should be done. Exposition explains complex issues, reports on topics, and offers the reader hands-on information from an impartial, authoritative standpoint.

Use exposition to analyze and explain complex issues in a precise and objective way. For example, “The Administrative Structure of the European Union.,” or “Conflict in Cashmere: The Historical Background.”

These days exposition is primarily a non-fiction style. It has been used in fiction in the past to fill readers in on background before a story begins in earnest, but it goes in and out of fiction fashion. At the moment it’s pretty much out of favor, but don’t let that put you off using small doses if it’s best for what you want to do.

Instruction

The aim of instruction is to inform, educate, and influence your reader to act. An instructive text educates readers or influence their actions by advising about a topic. This text style usually includes commands and instructions.

Instructive texts can be purely descriptive and objective (How To Mend A Punctured Bicycle Tire) or didactic, i.e., carry a subjective moral message (How Bring The Biblical Commandments To Life.)

The aim of persuasion (argumentation) is to persuade readers to adopt a specific view and act accordingly. Persuasion is a non-fiction style that deals with ideas and controversy. The writer presents a clear opinion and personal views on a topic, then provides facts and reasons (arguments) to support her stance.

You might want a reader to act by purchasing a product, by signing a petition, by making a donation to charity, or by voting for your candidate in an election.

Tour over! Those are the four basic writing styles. Now you know which tool is best for which task, and that means you’ll be able to make the most effective style choices when you write.

How to Build a Writer's Toolkit for Students

How to Build a Writer's Toolkit for Students

How to Build a Writer's Toolkit for Students.png

A writer’s toolkit is a resource for students to use as a reference guide during writing workshop. A writer’s toolkit can take the form of a digital folder or even physical folder. Both options can work for students depending upon the needs of your students— or your individual preference.

Here are the basic steps for building a writer’s toolkit for students to use during writing workshop throughout the school year.

Step One: Use Backward Design

The first step in helping students develop a writer’s toolkit is to use backward design and start with the end in mind. This means to look at the final writing product of the semester or the year and then work backwards to determine the targeted writing skills that students will need to work on to build up to the final writing product.

Once you have determined the final writing product, make a list of scaffolded skills and organize them in a logical order that builds throughout the semester or marking period.

Here is a suggested sequence of writing skills for an argumentative essay:

Thesis Statement

Introduction paragraph

Paragraph Organization

Topic Sentences

Selecting textual evidence

Blending textual evidence

Crafting commentary and analysis

Concluding paragraph

Academic language & vocabulary

Editing and revision

This is just a suggested sample list of skills, but you can craft your list of skills according to your students’ needs.

Step Two: Create Informational Handouts for Each skill

After creating a list of scaffolded and targeted writing skills for your writing unit, you can create handouts that can be used during writing workshop. Students can keep these handouts as reference guides throughout the writing process. These handouts form the crux of the writer’s toolkit for students. I like to have have my students keep their writing workshop handouts in a folder that they keep in the classroom. I also provide a wall of reference folders where I keep extra copies of skills-based handouts for students to take as needed.

I find that having students keep a writer’s toolkit helps them to be more independent learners and writers. It also reinforces learning and writing mini-lessons.

Check out this pack of 25 Essential Handouts for Writing Workshop from Bespoke ELA if you’d like to have print-ready resources to use in your classroom.

Step Three: Allow Students to Create Their Own Tools

As a final step in this process— or alongside giving out handouts and tools for a writer’s toolkit, students can likewise create their own handouts and tools to use. One of the things I like to have my students do is create doodle notes pages for targeted writing skills. When students can sort, categorize, and process information on their own and in their own way, it can help them to understand it in their own way.

Here are some other options that students can use to create their own tools for a writer’s toolkit:

Infographics (see Canva.com )

Google slideshow

Comic strip

Do’s and Don’ts list

Lists of examples and rules

There are many more ideas where these come from, but hopefully, this list gets you started off on the right foot for helping students create their own writer’s toolkits.

What else would you add to this list? Please leave us a comment. We’d love to hear from you!
