Animal Life Cycles

Animal Research Informational Writing

Finish up your writing from yesterday. Read over the writing you have. Begin to revise and edit in your journal. Check for sentences that can be combined to create complex sentences or compound sentences. Check for spelling errors and other grammar errors. While you are reading your writing make sure your sentences are in order and make sense when you are reading aloud. Check to see if it is clear what animal you are writing about and the different stages of the life cycle are specifically stated. You should also include details and use descriptive language for each stage. Finally, check to make sure you have a closing sentence. Tomorrow you will use the writing checklist to review your writing before beginning your final presentation.
