All About Writing Unit

All-About Writing Unit

We are starting an All About Writing Unit. This project involves writing informational text without the need to do research. Students have already chosen topics that they already know about for this project. Topics such as pets, planets, animals, reptiles, etc. They seem very excited about this project and I encourage them to continue to read and discuss the topic they have selected at home. They are more than welcome to bring any books they may want to use to help them with their writing.

     They will be creating an All-About Book that includes a table of contents, at least 3 sections with headings, pictures with captions, and a cover with the title and author’s name. They will also have an opportunity to complete an optional glossary. You can support them by reading books with the above components and pointing them out. You can have discussions about the topic they selected and details to support them. 

For example: All About An Overnight Bike Trip would include sections on: clothing, equipment, food, bike paths, etc. 

Thanks again for your support!
