How to Teach Essays is a systematic approach to teaching multi-paragraph essays. This step-by-step program provides all the resources that upper elementary, middle school, and high school teachers need to teach students how to write the CCSS W.1 argumentative and W.2 informational/explanatory essays. Students complete 42 skill-based essay strategy worksheets, beginning with simple 3-word paragraphs and proceeding to complex multi-paragraph essays.

As the commercial says, "Have it Your Way." Choose among these format options in your download: printed worksheets, fillable PDFs, or Google slides.

Each essay strategy worksheet emphasizes a different essay skill, and one skill builds upon another. Students will master topic sentences, support details (including 8 different types of evidence and analysis), 8 different body paragraph structures, thesis statements, 8 introduction strategies, and 8 conclusion strategies. Students will also learn the art of sentence revision with 16 different grammatical sentence openers introduced throughout the program.

The program is simple to teach. Read the two-page “Learn How to Teach This Program in 10 Minutes” and get started. No prep! While students are writing, the teacher mini-conferences with each student upon completion of every essay strategy worksheet. This brief writing conference works equally well in person, via ZOOM, or with Google comments in Google slides. The teacher suggests edits and revisions, as needed, and the students revise accordingly. When students master a worksheet, they move on to the next one.                                                                                         

The program provides class management tips to motivate your students and maintain a productive work environment. Teachers spend their time discussing and marking essays with their student writers. Absolutely no grading is done outside of the student-teacher writing conferences. Students get quality one-on-one time with their teacher and benefit from this individualized instruction.

How to Teach Essays is a flexible program. Teachers may choose to substitute their own writing prompts for those in the program. Additionally, teachers may complete the program in one semester, allotting 20 minutes per day, 4 days per week, or spread out the instruction over the entire year.   

Writing Posters

Get 59 colorful digital writing posters (8.5 x 11 for easy printing) to serve as anchor charts to teach and reinforce the key instructional components of the program. Laminate and post these and you'll have the best-looking classroom walls in your school.

Check out these printable and digital companion programs: Eight Writing Process Essays applies the skills learned in How to Teach Essays to write four argumentative (CCSS W.1) and four informational/explanatory (CCSS W.2) writing process essays with connected reading resources, graphic organizers, response-revision-edit resources, and analytical (not holistic) rubrics. Essay Skills Worksheets provides differentiated practice for both remedial and advanced writing skill development. Teachers may purchase all three programs with the value-priced TEACHING ESSAYS BUNDLE.

Quality product but sold on Amazon cheaper with different seller.
Size: Medium Size 2, Color: White-Blue
The size is the reason for the missing star. Made of good quality but found cheaper from another buyer. My 9month Cane Corso hasn't destroyed it yet and enjoys playing keep away with the other dogs.

absolutely must buy perfect for dogs. I have a large black lab and he has had so much fun with us.
Size: Large Size 3, Color: White-Blue
I have to say that my dog would be considered an aggressive tower. However, this ball has stayed intact. I love that it comes with the pump. It’s extremely functional very soft for catching can be cleaned. Very easy easy the quality is exceptional. Very functional does have a bounce. I can say he has had so much fun with this since it’s getting it for his birthday on 11/11 I highly recommend this product and would definitely buy again.

Perfect for keep-away
Size: Large Size 3, Color: Red-Blue
I purchased one of these for my pup and he has a ball throwing it up in the air and chasing it. Handy for something they can play with alone.

Great
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
I need something that was soft for my three year old and this ball is super great, it not only is the right size but it also fits in his mouth just right. Although he is a super aggressive chewer, the ball toy hasn't been totally destroyed yet and it is easy on his gums. The ball is so durable that got two of these toys just for fun.

The best!
UPDATE: 08/05/2025 - This is still one of my dog's 2 fav training/play toys. A couple of notes: 1. This is not a chew toy. If your pup is chewing up the rope, that's on you. That being said, you can get 100' of the poly cord rope at Home Depot for like $4.98. You can make nearly 100 ropes out of 100'. How hard is it to replace the rope????? 2. My pup is a now 15 month old Malinois. His original balls, purchase in September 2024 are still in everyday, multiple times per day, play. I did get careless and leave one where he got it and chew the rope. Easily replaced. Nothing to fret over. Yes, that was on me! 3.The foam ball is virtually indestructible! Replace the rope! 4. I noticed the price for the yellow large went from $12 each to $24. THIS will cause me to go elsewhere if they doubled in price. I LOVE these balls but not that much. I noticed they have a new yellow ball that has a strap vs. a rope. I might try that if I need one, but I have 6 of these balls, 2 never used yet, 2 that are virtually new looking, and 2 that have been in play since september 2024. I don't think I'll be buying more any time soon, but if I do need more, I hope they haven't gone up to $24 each. One of my top, go-to training tools. Quality is great other than the shrink wrap around the string joint. It's junk but not essential. Great tug and fetch toy. Essential to teaching a good "out" command (2 are recommended for this).
