Lesson Plan

Writing Fix: Specific and Memorable Details

Curated by ACT

The Important Book, written by Margaret Wise Brown, provides a very specific writing pattern that even the youngest of writers can imitate. Requiring these types of patterns for writing tasks provides safety for all students, and when students feel safe, they can explore things (like details in writing) with less anxiety. This on-line prompt has students learn and toy with the pattern, so they can use The Important Book's simple pattern throughout a school year, applying it to things they've learned in any content area.
