This is something I wish I had learned when I was very young, instead of in high school. This will help your elementary students learn a solid plan for writing a book report or essay. -Karen
1. Write all the ideas you want in your report down on Post It Notes, or little scraps of paper.
2. Divide the Post It Notes into three piles (for a short report) by putting similar, or connecting ideas together.
3. Write the ideas down from each pile into a paragraph.
4. Write an introduction paragraph for the beginning, and a closing paragraph for the end.

This 5 Paragraph model will help your elementary students conquer their book reports with confidence and ease.
