TREES: The Teach BIG Writing Framework 🌳

Take your students’ essays to the next level with TREES, Teach BIG’s proven framework for Extended Constructed Response (ECR) writing. Built to go beyond the limitations of RACE, TREES equips students with the tools they need to produce clear, organized, high-scoring essays every time.

Aligned to state standards, including the Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS) and TEKS, TREES helps students master every part of the writing process:

• Crafting introductions that hook and clarify
• Building strong thesis statements
• Writing main body paragraphs with meaningful evidence and explicit explanations
• Making global connections that elevate essays to the next scoring level
• Wrapping it up with purposeful conclusions that demonstrate the writer’s voice

TREES isn’t just a framework—it’s a teaching system. With engaging lessons, kinesthetic manipulatives, and easy-to-remember steps, TREES makes writing interesting, practical, and unforgettable. Students learn habits that stick with them long after the test is over.

Perfect for classrooms, student camps, or teacher training sessions, TREES grows confident writers who know how to think, connect, and express ideas with impact.
