Writing informational paragraphs doesn’t have to be a nightmare! 👻

If your students’ “revisions” somehow look exactly the same as their first drafts (we’ve all been there), this strategy is for you.

Here’s how to help your writers see what strong informational writing looks like and make the revision process stick:
Step 1: Teach the Structure
Introduce the hamburger model for paragraphs — but with a spooky twist! Top Bun = Topic Sentence, Meat = Three Key Details, Extras = Supporting Examples (aka lettuce, ketchup, mustard), and the Bottom Bun = Closing Sentence. For October, turn it into a MONSTER burger to make it extra memorable!

Step 2: Highlight & Revise
Give students highlighters to color-code their writing:
Yellow = top and bottom buns
Pink = details
Green = supporting examples
This makes missing pieces stand out right away.

Step 3: Build It!
Now let them build their burger using craft materials. They can only include what they’ve highlighted, so if their burger looks a little sad, it’s a clear sign to go back and add what’s missing.

Every time I teach this, my students end up sketching burgers during writing sessions long after Halloween is over. The visual really sticks!
