Turtle Writing Templates: Are you looking for a cute animal shaped writing template that will help you create an eye catching bulletin board display of your students' creative writing assignments?
These cute turtle creative writing templates measure 10 inches in width and 6 inches in height.
These turtle templates would be ideal to use for a short writing assignment, poetry, or a science unit.
You could also use these turtle templates with a novel that has a turtle theme such as ESIO TROT by Roald Dahl or Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss.
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 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 creative writing set. The writing lines and space on the first draft worksheet match the lines and space on the final draft turtle templates.
After students have edited and revised their first drafts, you should give them their final draft turtle templates.
This set of includes 2 different turtle templates. Give half of your students the turtle that is facing left, and the other half the turtle that is facing right.
By having turtles that are facing in both directions, you can add more variety to your bulletin board display of your students' turtle creative writing assignments.
Below is a sample of the final draft turtle templates. These templates contain thick black borders, which make it easy for students to cut out these turtle writing templates themselves.
As I am introducing this writing topic to my students, I like to begin by sharing my own example with my students. At the front of the classroom, I post examples of what the final draft turtle templates look like.
I have included 2 colored turtle templates for you to use as visual examples to show your students so that you don't have to spend time coloring these turtles yourself.
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 turtle creative writing assignments.
Finally, to help you in decorating your bulletin board with a turtle theme, I have included turtle accent pieces in this teaching resources set.
These accent pieces include 3 different shades of green turtles, in a variety of different sizes, facing both left and right.
