This differentiated, hands-on, engaging research and writing creation is designed for students to research and write about community helpers. Depending on your grade and students' abilities, the research can be done in the whole group, small groups, or individually. Learning will be recorded on class anchor charts, graphic organizers, and/or in student research journals. The student pages can be completed separately or made into a community helpers research journal. You could also research each person separately and only select the ones you choose. This resource makes research and writing fun and simple for all grades PreK-5!
