Caterpillar Writing Templates: Are you looking for some writing templates that will make your students march away with creative ideas?
This Caterpillar Creative Story Writing Set will provide you with all of the teaching resources that you need for your students to write a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
If you have difficulties reminding your students to use paragraphs in their writing, these caterpillar templates are a great visual reminder to use paragraphs because each section of their stories will be written in a separate section of the caterpillar.
This set of caterpillar writing templates contains five worksheet templates that assemble into a caterpillar. The finished caterpillar project measures 30 inches in width and 9 inches in height.
These finished creative writing projects make a colorful bulletin board display of your students' work. Everything that you need to complete these projects is included in this set. All that you will need is scissors, glue, tape, and coloring pencils.
This caterpillar writing templates set includes assembly directions on how to prepare and assemble this project and a grading rubric.
I believe that the writing process is important and that teachers should use process writing whenever possible. For this reason, my students never begin writing their stories on their final draft 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.
This Caterpillar Creative Writing Set requires your students to write a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Below is an example of the first draft writing worksheets that are in this set. The line space on the first draft worksheets matches the line space in the final draft caterpillar templates.
This caterpillar writing templates set includes 5 templates that assemble into the shape of a caterpillar. In three sections of the caterpillar's body, students write the beginning, middle, and end of their story. In the last section, students draw an illustration.
Below are examples of these five templates:
When I am first introducing my students to a new writing project, I believe that it is important for them to have a visual example of what their final draft writing projects will look like. I always assemble the caterpillar project myself beforehand and display it at the front of my classroom for my students to see. Seeing what the published final draft of their projects will look like when they are finished, inspires my students to use their best effort throughout the entire writing process.
To save you time in coloring your example that you show your students, I have included color caterpillar templates of this project for you to use.
Finally, I know that it takes teachers a lot of valuable time to assemble their bulletin board displays. Many teachers spend hours of time cutting out large display letters or making a banner on their own at home on their computer.
This time is valuable and better spent on developing your classroom curriculum and grading papers, so I have designed a matching 5 page banner for your bulletin board display.
If you have access to a laminating machine, you can laminate your banner so that it is durable and you can use it year after year for bulletin board displays of these Caterpillar creative writing assignments.
This set of writing teaching resources includes a caterpillar display set that you can use as accent pieces on your bulletin board display.
This caterpillar display says: "We Are Walking Away With Creative Ideas!"

These butterfly templates have exactly the same writing topics of beginning, middle, and end and the writing lines and spaces are also exactly the same.
I give my girl students butterfly writing templates and my boy students caterpillar writing templates.
