Having students use self-assessment checklist in their writing is a great tool to use. It will support them in their writing by allowing them to give themselves individualized feedback that the teacher can then expand on and provide support as needed.

We liked the student exemplars and writing progressions.

Love how this resource gives you exactly what to talk about with students for all different types of situations a student may be having while writing. It also gives you ideas for different goals to leave writers with that when you come back later you can look at.
