The High School Essay Writing Practice Pack: Practice Writing Complete Essays — Start to Finish | Grades 9-12 | CCSS-Aligned

Three essay types, one repeatable set of steps. This pack walks students through an argument essay, an informative essay, and a literary analysis essay, each with a claim or main idea, a three-part plan, an opening paragraph, and one full body paragraph. The parent guide suggests one part per sitting, since each part is a full writing task.

Aligned to Common Core State Standards (CCSS): W.9-10.1 and W.11-12.1 (writing a claim and a body paragraph), W.9-10.2 and W.11-12.2 (writing a main idea and a body paragraph), and W.9-10.4 and W.11-12.4 (drafting an opening and a body paragraph). Also supports W.9-10.5, W.11-12.5, RL.9-10.1, and RL.11-12.1, in part, because no problem asks students to revise and Part 3 uses a text the student chooses.
