Evidence-Based Writing, Grade 3 (Paperback) by Nancy R Bosse

A key shift in instruction, called for by the Common Core and college and career readiness standards, is the focus on students' abilities to use evidence from texts to inform their writing. Applying the Standards: Evidence-Based Writing provides students with the practice they need to make a reading-writing connection. The exercises, based on literary and informational texts and prompts paired with graphic organizers, will encourage higher-level thinking and thoughtful writing. Also included in this book is a Common Core alignment chart, a writing assessment rubric, a student writing checklist, a five-page writing process packet, and an answer key for easy planning and implementation.
