Silver Firs Elementary School

We have been working very hard on different types of writing this year.  Below are links to blackline masters for narrative, opinion, informational and how-to writing resources.  I have not explicitly taught informational writing, but the students are welcome to try it out!

Transition words for how-to writing: first, next, then, last

Transition words for words for opinion and informational writing: first, in addition, also, finally
