✅ The Most Impactful Way to Teach Essay Writing: Have your students go deeper into the design of the text by reverse-engineering it! This resource uses text analysis questions to help learners deconstruct a problem and solution essay paragraph-by-paragraph. By answering questions about a sample essay’s context, use of language, and structure, students get to think critically about the choices the author made in the writing and learn the essay’s structure organically. It will teach them how to write a problem and solution essay from the bottom-up.
✅ Graphic Organizers for Essay Writing: Your students will love the step-by-step guidance offered in the graphic organizer. They’ll get suggested paragraph lengths, structure, and language tips as they prepare and, eventually, write their own problem and solution essays. There are even different essay writing prompts they can choose from!
