#22: Teaching Kids How to Write About People (Part II of III)

I love to teach my students how to write about people. In my newest set of “Write for a Month” books, “Black Americans’ Contributions,” I had the opportunity to use many of my frameworks for the many lessons in which students write about people. In part two of three about teaching kids to write about people, I move into more frameworks, outlining types, and pre-writing techniques for fifth through eighth graders: Writing from a source that is given to students with definite/accurate paragraph breaks and appropriate readability/write-ability levels Writing from a source with a single episode/story of that person’s life (can be longer since it is story-based) Giving a source of many paragraphs with a Q and A structure for kids to outline from (their answers become their outline) Outline from sources—three similar people or three achievements (or quotes or books)—so simple to put together for one essay! Going from single source for research to multi-source merging And more! Check out my newest set of “Write for a Month” books called “Black Americans’ Contributions.” Five levels. One month long. Downloadable.   Look me up for more information and links to my resources:  Language Arts Lady Blog: https://languageartsladyblog.com/ Language Arts Lady Store: https://languageartsladystore.com/ Teachers Pay Teachers Store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Language-Arts-Lady-With-Donna-Reish How I Teach YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC20OP_HNTUm8eBMNgMh06sQ Our Homeschool History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUKW-AXDovY&list=PLjS7lbVmIJpx-3kxpeE8ianP4Ux1BX5iE Our Homeschool History Episodes: https://languageartsladyblog.com/ourhomeschoolhistory How I Teach Episodes: https://languageartsladyblog.com/howiteach/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelanguageartslady/ Monday Mini Mail (Archived Articles): https://languageartsladyblog.com/monday-mini-mail/  10Minute Grammar Podcast: https://languageartsladyblog.com/10-minute-grammar/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/characterinkhs/_created/ Facebook/Language Arts Lady: https://www.facebook.com/charactertrainingfromtheheart Punctuation Puzzles: https://languageartsladyblog.com/articles/punctuation-puzzles/  2022-2023 Classes and Tutoring: https://characterinkblog.com/classesandtutoring/ All LAL Freebies: https://languageartsladyblog.com/freebies/ How I Teach iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-teach/id1552986393
