Description
Independence plays such a role in our lives as Primary Teachers. We want students to be independently thinking and reflecting on their work.
I created these writing checklists for my own 1st graders for our Work-on-Writing time during Daily 5. With these checklists, students’ work was more focused and developed. As students worked, they would grab a checklist and staple it to the corner of their writing.Before sharing writing with our class or asking for a friend’s feedback, students were expected to reflect on their own work.
Included in this resource…
*Anchor-Chart Checklists
- 5-Star Writing
- Narrative
- Opinion
- Inform/explain
- How-To Writing
- Open-response writing
*Student Checklists (4-to-a-page) for each mode of writing
*Student-to-Student Feedback Form/Reflection
- 1/2 page option (a celebration and a question)
- 1/4 page option (letter format)
These checklists are classroom tested and approved. They are ideal for focusing your students’ writing and writing towards a goal.

Great resource! The 5 Star Writing Checklist has the word capital spelled incorrectly. It is right on the poster, but inside the squares it is spelled CAPTIAL. Sadly, I got some back from the printer and just noticed the error. Can you correct this so I can upload and re-print? Thanks!
