Introduction

I can brainstorm for informational pieces.

Writers, today we will be brainstorming! Yesterday, we learned about domain-specific vocabulary and how we can use that to sound like experts. What are you an expert in?

  • Think for a moment about what you are an expert in... or maybe what your interests are. Maybe you enjoyed learning about Native Americans or the life cycle of a butterfly in previous grade levels. Maybe you are really interested in gymnastics, baseball, dinosaurs or Legos. Write a few of your interests down on a piece of paper.​
  • Today, we will use that to help guide our writing through brainstorming.​
