What Are Two Fourth Grade Writing Lesson Plans That Teach About Organization?

When kids are in fourth grade, they begin to learn about expository essays. Although there are many challenges in writing expository essays, one of the things kids struggle with most is organization. Much of their writing in earlier grades doesn't have much of a structure, which means kids aren't used to thinking about organization. The following fourth grade writing lesson plans that teach about organization will provide a good introduction to your students.

  • Give students a sample paragraph that is written completely out of order. Ask students to put the sentences in order. Than have a discussion with students about why the badly ordered paragraph was hard to read. After the lesson, give students a few more paragraphs and ask them to put the sentences in a logical order.
  • Choose a topic and write an outline as a class. Let your students create a thesis statement and topic sentences. Write the outline on butcher paper and most it in the room for students to refer to. After this whole-class activity, divide students into groups. Give each group a topic and have them write their own outline on butcher paper.
