Writing to INFORM

Informational text is written to INFORM the reader! 

Students have been brainstorming different topics that interest them. These could be topics that they know a little or a lot about. Topics that are chosen are being researched through books in our classroom and school library. Notes taken are applied to their writing and used to develop an informative text. 

Students are introducing topics in their writing with an appropriate beginning that attracts the reader. They are learning to use different kinds of information to add in the important details (facts, definitions, steps, definitions, and tips). 

They are loving this unit so far and wish they had more time to write!
