Earth Day Writing Activity with Editing Checklist Sub Plan 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Grade

This Earth Day writing activity is complete with an editing checklist, brainstorming ideas, and space to write. It makes a great sub plan or extension activity. Let’s get your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader thinking about an Earth Day story. Don’t forget the lessons learned in clean water, conservation, recycling, and leadership. Then follow up with STEAM extension activities included in the download. Give them space to write about where they spent the day, who they were with, a challenging situation, and the solution they proposed! The painful process of getting kids to write more is made easy when kids take ownership of the story. ✨Hear what people are saying about these narrative writing challenges!✨ "Such a fun assignment that fostered the motivation that my reluctant writer so needed! My son loved the prewriting table with choices, which also helped him organize his paragraphs. The editing checklist at the end also helped him be in charge of his own writing." -Daniela B., Homesch
