Gear up for Spring Assessments with Our Source Writing Bundles

Posted on March 30, 2017

Did you know Castle Learning has almost 30 source writing bundles for you to use with your students? They span a wide range of topics and grade levels, providing students with content that peaks their interests and prepares them with the skills they’ll need to tackle these types of questions on assessments.

What are Source Writing Bundles?

Source writing bundles are groups of reading passages that are “bundled” together. All of the reading passages (or sources) in a bundle focus on a specific topic and are most often nonfiction. Bundles can contain 3-5 sources and provide students with information needed to complete a writing task.  All source writing bundles include a writing task! Some of the bundles also include extra questions that lead-in to the writing task. These lead-in questions help students organize and outline facts from the reading passages (sources) that they’ll need to use when completing the writing task. 

What topics are covered in Source Writing Bundles?

Elementary:

  • Honey Bees and Yellow Jackets
  • Kelp Forest
  • Extreme Scientists

Middle School:

  • Green Schools
  • Biomimicry
  • Human-Animal Interaction
  • Prehistoric Art – Caves

High School:

  • School Dress Codes
  • Community Service
  • Hydraulic Fracturing: Fracking
  • Federal Theatre Project
  • Protection One Privacy
  • Hosting the Olympics
  • Health Care
  • Extinct Species

  • Mandatory Voting
  • Genetically Modified Foods
  • Celebrities and Humanitarian Causes
  • Music Production
  • The Economy of Music

Just because a bundle is leveled High School, doesn’t mean it can’t be used with Middle School students. We encourage you to check out the bundles if the topic intrigues you!
