Let's Get Organized with Writing Maps!

Being organized is a key ingredient to the writing process. It helps everyone stay focused and on-topic. I find that writing maps not only help my students accomplish this goal, but these planning tools also give them a great place to start. 

Recently, I had a teacher at a workshop ask me where to find all the Prewriting Maps since they have not yet ventured into the digital version of Shurley English.

Here is a step-by-step process to access our Prewriting Maps from our website:

Step 1:

Go to www.shurley.com.

Select the login button.

Step 2:

Login to your Shurley account.

Don't have a Shurley account? No problem! Simply select the REGISTER link.

Your account is free and your information will remain private.

Step 3:

Scroll down to the bottom of the homepage.

Click the PRINTABLES button.

Step 4:

Select the appropriate grade level and view the printable content.

Step 5:

Scroll through the PDF content. For most levels, you will find multiple pages of resources.

Print the map you wish to use.

Happy writing!
