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 write our introduction and conclusion.

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.
