Grade 3Grade 4Grade 5

Triplet Slide Decks

Three coordinated tools. Five levels of thinking. A clear path from instruction to application.

Teach each standard with purpose, guide students toward deeper thinking, and know what to do next. Triplet Slide Decks from The Writing Academy®, LLC bring classroom instruction, teacher guidance, and student practice together in one thoughtfully coordinated set. With sets addressing every RLA TEKS standard and its individual breakouts, teachers have a ready resource for introducing a concept, reviewing prior learning, or providing the focused support students need to take their next best step.

Each triplet includes three connected components that keep what teachers teach, what students see, and what students do working together.

One lesson, three parts

All three pages below come from the same lesson, Grade 4 Cumulative Editing Part One, subject-verb agreement, so the slide, the script, and the tracking sheet match.

Triplet Part 1 (class slides)

Class slide for Grade 4 Cumulative Editing Part One, Wednesday, Show the fix. The sentence on screen reads Before: The speaker speak, with the exact TEKS wording and an I can statement.

Triplet Part 2 (teacher scripted plans)

Teacher script page for the same Grade 4 Cumulative Editing Part One slide. The left side lists word for word SAY lines and DO directions with the answer key. The right column holds check for understanding, common misconception, possible student question, and advice.

Triplet Part 3 (student tracking sheets)

Student tracking sheet for the same Grade 4 Cumulative Editing Part One week on subject-verb agreement, with the standard, an example from the passage, and a box for the student's own example.
