4 writing centers I hope you find my materials useful. Either way, please leave me feedback. I’d love to know that you are enjoying my creations, or I’d appreciate feedback that would help me to improve the materials for my own use!
I don’t know about you, but I was very frustrated with trying to figure out exactly what this standard would look like in my classroom. It seems very comprehensive, and redundant to some other standards. I spent a lot of time researching the various components of this standard, and came up with my own best way to teach this.
Please check out my Mega Bundle for all my 4.3 resources described below, and pictured above. It is currently priced at $3.50.
Included in this package: Keynote file to use for teaching concepts (editable). Quicktime version (with animations by clicking) for those without access to Keynote. Task cards, with recording sheet, to practice identifying various forms of the 4 types of writing (narrative, expository, technical, persuasive). Two sheets for additional practice with identifying forms of text. I use these inside sheet protectors to allow those who need extra practice to use with dry erase markers. Posters to hang for the 4 different types of text. Posters to hang for writing center activities to practice being an author of the 4 types of text. Two sheets to use in interactive notebooks. If you are not familiar, these are materials used in student created notebooks (usually composition notebooks). They provide students with a reference for each standard that they can access throughout the year. Two practice pages with a selection and questions for historic, scientific, and technical writing. That’s 6 worksheets in all. Answer keys for everything! Suggestions for implementing. Historic Text - Harriet Tubman

DIRECTIONS: Use your keys to Historic Text to comprehend the passage below, and answer the questions that follow.
Underground Railroad was a system that helped slaves in the southern United States escape to the northern United States, Canada, and other places that didn’t allow slavery during the mid-1800’s. The system was neither underground nor a railroad. Americans called it the Underground Railroad because of the secret way in which the slaves escaped. Thousands of slaves used the Underground Railroad to escape to freedom; however, many were not successful.
Many white people, and free black people, provided runaways with food, clothing, directions, and places to hide. The Underground Railroad got its name around 1830, and helped slaves for the next 30 years. Harriet Tubman A few people became famous for their contributions to the Underground Railroad. Levi Coffin and Thomas Garrett, who were members of the Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, helped at least 5,000 slaves escape. William Still was known as the “father of the Underground Railroad.” He sheltered hundreds of fugitives in his Philadelphia home. One of the most famous was Harriet Tubman. A runaway slave herself, Tubman returned to the South 19 times and helped about 300 people escape to freedom.
The underground railroad showed the determination of a small group of Americans to end slavery. Its success angered many people. It also added to the problems between North and South that led to the American Civil War (1861-1865).
