Apple Writing Templates: Are you looking for
an apple shaped writing template that will help
you create an eye catching Back to School bulletin board display of
your students' creative writing assignments?
In addition to a Back to School assignment, these apple writing
templates could also be used at other times during the school year for poetry,
health, science, or for a unit on Johnny Appleseed.
These unique apple writing templates measure 6.5 inches
in width and 6.5 inches in height.
For creative writing assignments, I believe that it is important
for students to go through the writing process.
For this reason, my students never begin their creative writing
assignments by writing on their final draft apple templates, instead
they write on first draft worksheets. Then, they edit and revise
their work on their own, with a partner, or in individual writing
conferences with me.
Below is an example of the first draft writing worksheet that is
included in this Back To School printable worksheets set. The writing lines and spaces
on the first draft worksheets match the lines and spaces on the
final draft apple templates.
After students have edited and revised their first drafts, you should
give them their final draft apple templates.
This set is designed to be a flip up book and there is a front
page apple template that contains the student's name, date, title,
and an area to draw a picture.
The second apple template (page 2 of the flip book) is where the students write their assignments.
Students cut out both of their templates and then staple them together to form a flip book.
If you want this to be a longer writing assignment, simply give
your students an additional second apple template.
These apple writing templates contain thick black borders, which makes it easy
for students to cut out the apple templates by themselves.
This set of Back To School printable worksheets includes
red, white, green, and yellow apple templates.
Right Apple Template: Writing Area For Story or Essay
Cut out both apple templates and staple them together to form a flip book.
Are you interested in having a one page apple creative writing assignment for your students
to write on instead of a 2 page flip book?
This set of Back to School teaching resources also includes a one page apple template.
Below is an example of the first draft worksheet that is used with the one page apple template.
Below is an example of the one page apple template in red.
Below are examples of the one page
apple writing templates in white, green, and yellow.
I have included apple accent pieces in this Back To School printable worksheets set.
There are red, green, and yellow apple accent pieces with phrases written on them.
There are plain red, green, and yellow apple accent pieces.

MATCHING APPLE TEACHING RESOURCES SET:
First Day Jitters written by Julie Danneberg
aloud book, use the same apple templates as the creative writing set shown above.
These two sets of apple teaching resources would look great
displayed together on a Back To School bulletin board.
First Day Jitters, written by Julie Danneberg, is a wonderful picture book to
read to your students the first day of school.
Can you remember your first day at a new school? Can you remember your
first day of school as a brand new teacher? First day jitters aren't
just for kindergarten students!
It's the first day of school and Sarah Jane Hartwell is nervous and wants
to stay in her bed. Mr. Hartwell tries to ease her nerves with calm
reassurance and wise advice.
The plot leads to a very cute and surprising
twist at the end of the story when the readers learn that the teacher is
the one who is nervous about her first day of school.

Teacher Testimonials
Heidi, I just had to write and let you know that your website has helped me create the most awesome author study of Roald Dahl's books. My students loved completing the big animal shaped projects you designed for The Enormous Crocodile, Esio Trot, and The Giraffe, and the Pelly and Me. For the final project, they had so much fun writing and drawing about the characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory using your Willy Wonka Factory project. Thanks for sharing your scrumdiddlyumptious ideas!

I can honestly say that I have never had such great results from children with a book report as I did using this wanted poster book report activity. I was blown away and the parents who have seen the finished projects were amazed too. Thank you! I will definitely log on again to see your other products and your after sales service is awesome, thanks again. Very much appreciated.

Your lesson plans for Stellaluna, Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have saved me so much planning time this year. My Gr. 3 students really enjoyed completing the projects that you designed for each of these books. I was able to create great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays in my classroom this year with their projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for saving me time.

My students loved your seasonal powerpoint games for Halloween and Thanksgiving. They thought they were playing a game instead of reviewing grammar ;-) I've already purchased all of your other holiday powerpoint lesson plans. Keep making more of these great activities, more POWER to you Heidi!

Thank you so much for letting me know about the new book report templates. I have been anxiously watching for the house book report project to be posted on your site, so I was excited to be able to purchase it today. It is absolutely adorable. I must tell you that I have received so many compliments from other teachers this year about my students' book reports that I have displayed in our school halls. Thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas....you make my life so much easier as a teacher!

I want to write and tell you that I love the resources that you make and share with us, they have truly been helpful to me and my students. I have been teaching grammar rules in a more exciting way, and I owe it all to you. Your grammar powerpoint lessons have been such a blessing! Thank you very much!

I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor to the left had the computer reports, and my neighbor to the right had the birthday cake reports. Thank you so very much for all of your work!

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your book report sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!

I am in awe of what you have accomplished and created for those of us teaching in the public sector. Good for you for taking time off and self publishing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your generosity is amazing. I recently provided a reading in-service for the K-5 staff at my school. I listed your website as a "must" to visit.
Thanks you for your expertise, creativity, and heartfelt enthusiasm. You are an inspiration to new and veteran teachers and a model for those of us who have not had the guts to go out on our own. You did it!!! I suggest that you go on the speaking circuit and share your knowledge and creativity at the International Reading Association Meetings and the State Reading Associations.

I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.

My students are working on their Charlie and Chocolate Factory projects that I bought on your website. One of my students said how nice the other character wheels were and he said, "Besides this is just fun!" Not bad for a third grade boy!!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful site and the excellent resources that you provide at such reasonable prices. I purchased and used your lesson plans for the The Giving Tree with my students, and it was a blast. Thanks again!

Simply stated, I LOVE YOUR BOOK REPORT SETS!!!!!!! I'm interested in purchasing them ALL!!!! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. My students are so excited about reading this year, and it is all because of your fun projects!
