Mastering Short Response Writing Kit, Grade 6 : Claim It! Cite It! Cement It!

Build confident, capable writers who own the concrete skills necessary to excel at composing evidencebased expository or argumentative short responses. In order to succeed on standardized tests and a wide range of writing assignments that call for writing to a prompt, students must control the content and mechanics of a logically structured, grammatically correct paragraph. California Teacher of the Year award winner and celebrated trade author Alan Sitomer outlines the Triple C writing system - a sequence of writing steps that helps students, grades 2-6, write concisely and convincingly in response to a prompt. Mastering Short Response Writing is a particularly effective instructional tool for raising the skill sets of low performing writers.
