Underground to Canada Digital Writing Track

For the first time ever, we have created a step-by-step writing program to go along with one of our units. This optional add-on book report Writing Track is designed to go along with the Underground to Canada unit. It includes 20 lessons that go in depth into structuring paragraphs, citing quotes, analyzing good writing, and more! 

Take a look at the pictures to see the table of contents and what is taught as well as a brief sample. Lessons should be able to be done mostly independently and take about 10 minutes or so a day. I recommend having students do their lesson before you read in the Teacher's Guide, allowing them to use what they learned to help take detailed notes for their report while they listen. 

This Writing Track includes 3 leveled approaches to a book report, allowing you to use it for any age: 

Level 1: A paragraph
Level 2: A 2 paragraph (1 page) report
Level 3: A 5+ paragraph report (essay style)

You will need to print one per student. The appendix includes leveled writing lines as well as leveled outlines for them to choose from.

Print-at-home instructions: All digital files are designed to be printed double sided. Blank pages are intentional for messy art or cutouts, but are not marked to save on ink costs. Print from the free Adobe PDF reader and use the 'print as image' setting for best results.
