Text Set MEGA BUNDLE!


Do you want ready-to-go text sets on a variety of topics to choose from? Then check my brand new Text Set MEGA BUNDLE on TeachersPayTeachers.com. This item includes every current text set in my store. The bundled price has been set as low at TpT will allow (50% off) to make all my text sets affordable for teachers everywhere. The bundle includes both argumentative and informational text sets, though there are certainly more argumentative sets. This is the case as most states have placed a recent emphasis on argumentative writing (including counterclaims and rebuttals) within adopted standards as well as standardized testing.
In addition to the current items listed on the item page on TpT, your purchase of this set will allow you to access all future-created text sets that will be added to my store. When I add those sets, due to TpT’s pricing rules, the price of this mega bundle has to increase, so the price you see today will be the lowest it will ever be, and purchasing this bundle today means you’ll be receiving more text sets in the future (an average of one or two every couple of months). You’ll receive an e-mail notification from TpT every time a new set is added to this item, so you’ll never miss out!
You can view all the text sets currently included in this bundle on the item page, but be sure to view the multiple tabs/pages of items, as only the first several are immediately visible when first viewing this item.
*Note: several text sets, and all future sets, do include Google Docs file links.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Teaching Writing, A Strategy for Analyzing Model Papers, Video for Teachers”

by Julie Faulkner
8th - 12th Grade


When teaching students to write, one of the biggest barriers is explaining to them what we expect. Secondly, it can be hard for students to synthesize every writing trait we've taught them. Using model papers can be a huge help in solving these problems because with this method, we are able to start with the end in mind.

In this quick video tutorial, I'll share my Red Light Green Light method I use for teaching writing with model papers. It's a hand-on method that allows students to see a paper as a whole and analyze its traits in order to strengthen their own writing.

In the supporting documents download, you'll find a couple of ready-to-go handouts to help you implement this strategy for teaching writing for FREE!

Excellent for secondary English, but also effective for any subject.

You may have a few sample papers already hanging out in your filing cabinets, but if you'd like to see a few more examples, take a look at these high-interest prompt packs with sample papers that I have for sale:
Cyberbullying Argumentative Prompt with Three Papers
Paid for Grades Argumentative Prompt
Obesity Argumentative Prompt
Gun Control Argumentative Prompt with Three Papers
MLK Argumentative Prompt
Duck Dynasty Explanatory Prompt
Zoo Dangers Explanatory Prompt with Two Papers
Fear Narrative Prompt
Choices Narrative Prompt
Imaginative Narrative Prompt
Paragraph of the Week

Dig deeper with model papers using my Model Papers Task Cards Set
