Class starts in 5 Minutes! Minilessons to Jumpstart Learning

Here you'll find minilessons for the major forms of writing. Each minilesson includes information about the form and an invitation to students to incorporate what they've learned into a writing activity right away.

You can print out the PowerPoint minilessons for blackline masters, project them onto a screen using a computer, or copy them onto transparency film for whole-class instruction.
