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

Movies from the late 1800s and early 1900s are very different from the movies that can be seen and heard today. Movies made long ago did not have sound.

Think about the ideas in the two passages. Then write an informational/explanatory essay explaining how introducing sound changed the experience of watching movies.

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
