Informational Writing Graphic Organizer

Graphic organizer/template for a research project/informational writing assignment to help outline, organize, and keep track of citations for students' 5 paragraph writing pieces. It features outlines for an introduction and conclusion paragraph, three body paragraphs, and room for citations that allow students to turn research questions into topic sentences. It has reminders to skip a line and indent where appropriate as well.

It's perfect for organizing thoughts and keeping citations all in one place. I hope this resource can be useful in helping you help your students achieve mastery!

This resource includes 2 versions (4 pages total) of informational writing graphic organizers with room for citations/sources.
