Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practises changing register and detail for a new audience — 2 questions for Grade 4, all on Common Core W.4.6: Type a page in one sitting and publish it online with others. The instruction to pupils is “Write on the lines. Use the checklist”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.4.6 — W.4.6, in the Writing domain for Grade 4. The published standard reads: “With some guidance and support from adults, use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Rewrite for a Different Reader is written for Grade 4, typically ages 9-10. It is one of the sheets on W.4.6, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 2 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 versions, of which 15 ask genuinely different questions — this skill does not have 25 distinct questions to give, so the rest reorder them and no two pupils still share a paper. Set 1 downloads all 25 as one PDF.
Yes. Rewrite for a Different Reader, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
Type a page in one sitting and publish it online with others.
