Revitalize Writing: Final Task Investigation

Backwards plan the skills & knowledge required to complete a final writing task. 

Backwards planning is one of the keystones of project-based learning, and this template supports educators in thinking about the skills and knowledge required to complete the final task, as well as anticipate where we might see strengths and struggles. 

By engaging in this exercise, students can acquire tips and techniques for their own writing. 

This resource is brought to you by the Student Press Initiative, which partners with schools and community-based organizations to raise the bar for what, how, and why students write. Since its founding in 2002, SPI has been revolutionizing education by advancing teacher leadership in reading and writing instruction, and bringing authentic student voices to life.
