 Student Packet
without Common
Core Standards
Originally 46 states adopted the Common Core State Standards. Many
teachers have commented that they love having the standards on
pages with constructed response writing prompts for accountability
reasons. Now educational trends are changing. Many states have
repealed Common Core and adopted their own state standards. To
meet the needs of teachers both using and not using Common Core
Standards, I have opted to provide the writing questions both with and
without standards.

To make creating a printable student packet easier, the

comprehension and constructed response questions are both
included in this section.
