Frequently asked questions
Is there a rubric for grading?
Yes. Each writing unit includes a clear rubric and model texts, so grading is faster and expectations are transparent for students.
What grade levels are these for?
They are written for Grades 6–9 and work across on-level and support middle school ELA classes. Differentiated and optional tasks let you scale the difficulty up or down for mixed-ability groups without extra prep.
What files do I get, and can I reuse them?
Each resource downloads instantly as editable Microsoft Word worksheets and answer keys plus a PowerPoint slide deck, so you can print class sets or teach digitally. A purchase is licensed for your own classroom, so you can reuse it with new students every year.
