3. Writing Performance Tasks (WPTs) Informative/Explanatory Writing
The writing performance tasks included here are samples we developed for some of our school districts. They include the teacher directions and the student prompt and directions. (Note: Links to videos may have changed, find a new one!) You can use the generic versions to create your own.
If you would like us to work with you in creating new WPTs or if you would like assistance with teaching writing for the Common Core, please contact us!
