Make a MIND MOVIE

Imagine the action in
the story step-bystep.
What do you see?
What do you taste?
What do you hear?
What do you feel?

Make sure the story

fows and makes
sense.
All stories should
have a confict or
problem, a climax,
and an ending.

There should be a
good, but short,
beginning (with a
grabber) and end.
The topic should be
mentioned in the
beginning and end.

Transition words
should be used
throughout the
passage.

Other Important
Tips!

Be careful with
dialogue:

All good writing

begins with a
PLANNER!

For a higher score,

spelling and
grammar are
important, BUT
The writing content
is more very
important!

Organization is
Important
Students should use
their organizers to
decide when to make
a new paragraph.
Make sure
paragraphs are
indented!

Similes should make

sense to ANY reader!

Expository Writing
Expository writing explains or informs.
Prompts for expository writing use words
such as: explain, clarify, inform, describe.
Expository writing has three
main parts or sections.

In writing an expository paper,

the student should:
Read the prompt carefully
Brainstorm a list of ideas
Make an outline
Write an introductory paragraph
Write at least two or three body paragraphs
Write a concluding paragraph

Brainstorming
After reading a prompt, students
brainstorm ideas for their paper.

Example: The student

is asked to write about pets.

The student makes a list of

Ideas for a paper about pets.

The next step

is to make an
OUTLINE.

Expository
Writing
The three body parts of an expository paper include

The Introduction

The Body

The Conclusion

The body
usually has
three
sections or
paragraphs
.

The body
provides
support, details,
and examples.

The Body

The Conclusion

The
introduction
should state
the theme of
the paper

The Introduction

The conclusion
wraps up
thoughts and ideas
about the theme.

Effective writing
contains the same
creativity skills
whether it is
narrative or
expository.
