Informational Essay Planning: Essay Rubric and Planner

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pupils walk through the process of writing essays for their final assessment of Unbroken. They begin by reviewing the rubric using Rubric Criteria strips that assign a portion of the rubric to each pair of learners. They then participate in a language mini-instructional activity, looking at examples and identifying active and passive voices before completing the Informational Essay Planner.
