As an English teacher, writing is one of my favorite subjects; too bad it isn't always so enjoyable for my students. I need some help. For one, they don't always know where to go with their writing, so I need a way of explaining it to them, maybe with a worksheet or two.

This is what I'm looking for: *Worksheet that explains proper paragraph formation and offers a bit of guided practice. *Worksheet that scaffolds essay writing and outlines proper essay format, such as "the thesis statement of your paper is...," "The attention grabber is..." with detailed examples. I would also like to know how often I should practice writing with students. How much class time should writing instruction take? I'm getting the idea that this cannot all be taught in one day.
