Purpose
The Expanded I-Write Plan turns the Teach BIG planning sheet into a game. Students check the rubric, set the prompt, and plan every paragraph.
How it works
Join the class, tick the Teach BIG Rubric self-check, dump ideas, drag the strongest three into the magnifier slots, fill the plan, and build the essay draft.
The goal
Every student leaves with a full plan and an editable draft that matches the rubric.
Student: Join a Class
Your plan saves on this device only. It is never sent anywhere.
