While educators across the curriculum are working to improve student performance, the gap between what is expected of student writers and what student writers are able to do continues to widen. This writing guide was born in an effort to help educators 􀂿nd a simple way to present basic writing skills. Designed for the instruction of expository, persuasive, and literary analysis essays, Mapping for Success scaffolds necessary skills and begins the writer’s journey toward control of his or her writing.\u003Cbr>Both authors are National Board certi􀂿ed teachers who have taught writing in the classroom for more than a decade. Their combined knowledge has allowed them to carefully craft a simple process that, with guided instruction, is capable of helping students better organize and elaborate their writing. What sets this method apart from other approaches to writing essays is its easy-­to-­understand format that allows teachers to bring their own creativity to the students’ writing process while equipping students with a visual cue to help develop their ideas.\u003Cbr>This method is not meant to create a new vocabulary for students and teachers to learn;; rather, it is purposefully designed so that students’ existing knowledge about writing can be easily tapped when beginning to map out a new essay. The term‘Mapping’ has been identi􀂿ed simply to accentuate the need for students to plan their essay before beginning their initial drafts.\u003Cbr>Used as a scaffold, this method can be taught successfully in middle and highschool. Pages within this booklet are meant to be photocopied and used in the classroom, as the graphic display of content organization is the primary strategy that will assist students when they are required to write for an assignment or a high stakes test. As with all good scaffolds, the intent is to move students past the scaffold as soon as they are capable. |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Let’s Map for Success!\u003Cbr>Nicole Welding | | Donna Herold |\n\nTable of Contents  \nWriting an Expository Essay..............4  \nIntroduction and Teacher Tips Mapping the Prompt  \nMapping Essay  \nHook and Release  \nWriting a Thesis Introductory Paragraph Mapping Body Paragraphs Conclusion Paragraph  \nWriting a Persuasive Essay.........21  \nIntroduction  \nMapping the Prompt  \nMapping Essay  \nHook and Release  \nWriting a Thesis  \nIntroductory Paragraph  \nMapping Body Paragraphs  \nConclusion Paragraph  \nWriting a Literary Analysis....... 39  \nIntroduction  \nMapping the Prompt  \nPre-Analysis  \nHook and Release  \nMapping Essay  \nWriting a Thesis  \nIntroductory Paragraph  \nMapping Body Paragraphs  \nConclusion Paragraph  \nAppendix I . . . .

Prewriting and Brainstorming  \nInstruction Rationale  \nEssays follow an organizational pattern that, once learned, allows students to write in an intuitive and organized manner. This is most important when students are required to respond coherently to an essay question on a test or formalize a response for an expository prompt. But what must our students understand about purposeful expository essay writing and how can we move them toward those understandings?  \nImportance of prompt analysis: It is always appropriate to de􀂿ne mode, audience, purpose, and subject before beginning to write. The following page introduces the basics of MAPS, demonstrating the initial questions that should be asked before beginning the writing process.  \nImportance of pre-­writing: The value of graphic organizers to teach essay writing cannot be underestimated. With that said, it is also worthwhile to point out that most students that we teach are visual learners.
