We started our unit on informational writing and students are so excited! The classroom was just buzzing with conversations and ideas today as they made lists about topics they know a lot about. Today's learning target was "I can collect ideas about topics that I know a lot about." It was so interesting as I walked around to see such a wide variety of topics. We have some experts in our room that are definitely going to teach me a thing or two! I can hardly wait!
First, we made a list of topics. . .
Finally, students had 10 minutes to write everything they know about their topic. It was great to see all the different ways students organized their chapters. Some had headings or chapters, some wrote a paragraph, and some write two pages!
