Informational Writing Unit

This week we start our second writing unit. In this genre we will be learning about informational writing. This type of writing is based on the knowledge of a given topic. Our prompt will be focused on explorers in connection with our current Social Studies unit. During this unit we will continue to use children’s literature (6+1 Traits) to model for students organized writing structures. We will also be focusing on character traits, topic sentences and sentence fluency.
