Informational Writing
We have been exploring informational books to discover the components of informational writing. Today the kids had a great time sharing their informational library books with their classroom community.
The students have helped create a chart of all the things they have noticed about informational text.
Next week the students will select an animal to research in preparation for our
informational writing piece.
The students in room 206 have begun short presentations. I have been so impressed!! We have focussed on presenting our information NOT reading our paper. The students are speaking in loud, clear speaking voices. They are practicing making eye contact with their audience and keeping their nervous fingers still. Others skill we have worked on are to introduce ourselves and speak slowly. Some students have even been able to show enthusiasm during their presentation. Ask your child to present for you, you will be so impressed at his/her presentation skills. Our presentations were based very short information text about birds' nests. Our next presentations will be much longer and based on our informational writing that we are just beginning now.
Check out the pics of the students observing real birds' nests.
Have a great weekend!!
