About this worksheet
An essay planner for opinion, informative or story writing, with an introduction, three middle parts and a conclusion.
What kids practice
Blank pages for everyday writing in third grade. The wide-ruled paper looks like notebook paper, with a red margin. The cursive paper keeps the top, middle and bottom lines for practicing letters. The book report template and essay planner have a labeled space for each part, so kids can plan before they write.
Watch for
- Skipping the plan and running out of ideas halfway through.
- Starting at the edge of the page instead of the red margin.
- Retelling the whole book in the book report instead of the main parts.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full writing paper and templates guide for 3rd grade.
