Grade 5 Writing Worksheet

Write a topic sentence and three facts about the topic. Then choose one word and write what it means.
Topic: honeybees.

To explain a topic well a writer develops it with facts, concrete details and the meaning of any word the reader may not know. A fact is something that can be checked. On this fifth grade sheet a child gets one topic and writes a topic sentence, three facts and a hard word with its meaning on labeled lines.
Each version has a different topic, and the grown-up checks that the facts are true and on topic.
Common Core standard: W.5.2.B
