Help students practice writing literature analysis while giving them meaningful student choice.
This middle school ELA differentiated writing project allows students to demonstrate their understanding of informational writing through three different response pathways. Each pathway aligns with CCSS RL.7.1, RL.7.2, RL.7.3, and RL.7.4, and supports students in organizing ideas, using evidence, and communicating information clearly.
Students choose one of three differentiated pathways (Option A, B, or C) to complete a writing project that fits their strengths while still demonstrating mastery of the standard.
This resource is designed to be simple, flexible, and easy to implement for writing instruction, independent work, or project-based learning.
This resource also supports students in planning, organizing, and completing a full writing task from start to finish.
This resource includes:
✔ Differentiated student choice project
✔ Planning organizer for structured writing support
✔ Standards-aligned grading rubric
✔ Color classroom version
✔ Print-friendly black and white version
✔ Standards-aligned objectives (RL.7.1, RL.7.2, RL.7.3, RL.7.4)
✔ Printable student writing workspace (color + black & white)
Perfect for:
• Middle school writing assignments
• Literary analysis practice
• Differentiated instruction
• Writing projects and performance tasks
• Independent or guided writing practice
Grades: Middle School ELA
Standard:
RL.7.1 - Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
RL.7.2 - Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text.
RL.7.3 - Analyze how particular elements of a story or drama interact (e.g., how setting shapes the characters or plot).
RL.7.4 -Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of rhymes and other repetitions of sounds (e.g., alliteration) on a specific verse or stanza of a poem or section of a story or drama.
