Common Core Standards

Grade 7

Writing W.7.10

Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences.

The only words that might be remotely confusing here are "range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences," and even that's not too bad. It just means to give students a whole bunch of different writing assignments. Based on the other Common Core Standards, they should be doing that already. No need to sweat it with this standard!

Example 1

Here's a fun lesson to use when students are reading a variety of British literature.

Have students create their own log during the readings of A Christmas Carol, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. They should adopt the point of view of a character from the reading. This will encourage understanding of character and point of view as well as character traits and creation.
