: “Five Paragraph ‘Fun’ Essays for Middle Schoolers” (Including Opening and Closing Paragraph Instruction!) - How I Teach

Welcome to HIT---How I Teach....In this episode, I teach a five-paragraph essay—a  super-duper fun writing project for students in fourth through eighth grades (with tweaks for going lower or higher in grades for this assignment!). The reason I say it is super-duper fun is because my students light up when they get to write these fun five paragraph types of projects. They are fun essays that lean into research just enough to get students gathering info to make their essays sing!
