 Teacher Tips:
This Writing Workshop anchor chart should be
accessible to your students any time they are
writing. I let students keep an individual one in a
page protector in their Writing Workshop binder,
but I also make a large one on poster paper to use
when introducing the topic and for reference
throughout the year. Just print the pieces (in
color if you can!), arrange on the poster and glue!

 Teacher Tips:
Alternatively, you can print the anchor chart as a
large poster and assemble this way.

Laminate the poster for display (if you don’t have

access to a large laminator, cut down to 8.5x11 sizes
and laminate on a personal laminator and
reassemble)—or you can print the page at 185% and
laminate the pages/assemble and tape together.

 WRITING
HOOKS
Good writers have interesting introductions as
their very first sentence! You can catch your
reader’s attention by writing a hook!

Question: Have you ever gone to the

swimming pool?
Onomatopoeia: Splash! I dove into the pool
feet first.
Dialogue: “I want to go swimming!” he
yelled.
Setting: The crisp, blue water of the pool
sparkled.
Fact: Children need practice to
learn how to swim.
Funny: A belly flop is one way
to do it!
