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 last step is to reread our writing using CUPS and ARMS to edit and revise.

EXTENDED WRITING-RESPONSE WRITING TASK

Ecosystems support all forms of life.

Think about the ideas in the two passages. Then write an informational/explanatory essay on how food chains work in an ecosystem.

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