Writing: Module 17, Lesson 2 (Day 82): Informational Writing: Researching Facts and Insuring Text Accuracy

Balancing Facts and Ideas From the Start

Video

Good writers are researchers.  They use resources for finding more information to enhance their informational pieces. Writers often stop writing in search of the perfect fact or the perfect example. They look in newspapers, magazines, the internet, and books. When they find what they have been looking for, they make it come to life.
