We've worked hard on essay writing skills this year. We played a game called "Writing Ninjas" where we focused on:
1. Using all words in a question to answer the question
2. Writing a 3-part thesis
3. Writing 3 topic sentences based on the thesis statement
4. Adding specific details that match each topic sentence
5. Writing conclusion sentences
6. Adding a hook and background information at the very beginning of an essay, so the reader knows what you're about to write about
7. Drafting a conclusion paragraph - restating the thesis and then explaining briefly why what you're talking about matters
