Introduction

Hi Readers! We will be reviewing author's point and reasons. When we are reading nonfiction or informational texts, we need to pay attention to the author's point and the reasons to support that point.

Author's give reasons to support their ideas. Examples: Spring is the best time of year because there are flowers and it ti warmer. Reading is a wonderful subject. One reason is that you can use your imagination while reading books.

Introduction

This week we will be reviewing informational writing.

Our goal is to write an informational/explanatory piece in the time span of a week. We should not be spending more than 20 minutes a day on this work. 

Our next step is to use a graphic organizer. This will help us organize our writing in the next few days and give us a clear picture of what to write about.

EXTENDED WRITING-RESPONSE WRITING TASK

We use light and sound to take in information about our surroundings. 

Think about the ideas in the two passages. Then write an informational/explanatory essay comparing and contrasting light and sound. 

Be sure to use information from BOTH passages as you write an informational/explanatory essay.


Writer’s Checklist
Be sure to:
• Introduce the topic clearly, provide a focus, and organize information in a way that makes sense.
• Use information from the two passages so that your essay includes important details.
• Develop the topic with facts, definitions, details, quotations, or other information and examples related to the topic.
• Identify the passages by title or number when using details or facts directly from the passages.
• Develop your ideas clearly and use your own words, except when quoting directly from the passages.
• Use linking words to connect ideas.
• Use clear language and vocabulary.
• Provide a conclusion that supports the information presented.
• Check your work for correct usage, grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation
