This worksheet does double duty! 

In addition to being informative text writing practice, students will work on making their handwriting crystal clear. It also includes a space for a picture as well as a caption.

Students will use this template as a free-writing exercise to explore a topic. They can write about a historical figure or event, a place, or even a fictional character. 

You can even use this template as a Back to School exercise where students write about themselves as a getting-to-know-you activity for kids! 

Through this activity, students demonstrate an ability to convey ideas and information.
