Writing Frames
What is it?
A collection of customizable writing frames that can be used to assess students' content knowledge, develop specific writing skills, and promote regular writing.
These frames and prompts can be used to
-
Assess students' understanding of key content/texts at any point in a learning sequence
-
Give students practice crafting the kinds of writing pieces that standardized tests require
-
Develop and test a variety of thinking/writing skills
This strategy has been adapted from Tools for Conquering the Common Core, Silver and Boutz, 2015
