In this activity, students build a strong HOW response one strip at a time. Each strip focuses on a different part of good relational writing—naming the relationship, using causal words, explaining what happens next, and adding clear examples. As students write, they check their work against the scoring guide to see how their ideas are developing and what needs to be stronger. The goal is to move from vague ideas to clear, connected explanations that show how one thing influences another.
