Terrific Teaching Tactics
Make Learning Fun
Third Grade Informational Writing Unit
Let’s look at my third grade informational writing unit and all its features. Plus get strategies for teaching writing to third grade students. The purpose of informational writing pieces is to tell your readers information on a topic. Informational pieces do not include characters or dramatization. Their sole purpose is to inform the reader.
Are you struggling to get your third graders interested in informational pieces?
Possibly, your students just roll their eyes at the thought of writing and you don’t know where to turn.
Or maybe your students are struggling to see the point of informational writing; whatever your struggle, I can help!
INTRODUCING TERRIFIC WRITING
Terrific Writing is a comprehensive writing curriculum for Third Grade. This curriculum is standards based (to the common core) and genre based. But best of all, it’s actually easy to teach and engaging for students!
In this curriculum, your students will develop a love of writing. The graphic organizers, interactive notebooks, and final craft will engage students much more than a blank piece of paper. The final writing piece asks students to write about a country they love that they have chosen! After all, students love to write about things that they are interested in.
Writing doesn’t have to be dull and students definitely shouldn’t hate writing!
In Unit 3 ‘Informational Writing’, students learn how to write detailed informational pieces.
ARE YOU SHORT ON TIME?
This 5 week unit has EVERYTHING you need because let’s be honest, teachers are time-poor.
So, let’s get your evenings and weekends back, my friend! Take a break from lesson planning and searching for engaging materials. It’s all right here.
Are you ready? I’m going to share some of the awesome things about it!
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THIS THIRD GRADE WRITING – Informational UNIT?
First up, there are a bunch of teacher docs. Unit contents, common core standards, and teacher directions? Check.
To begin, there are some suggested mentor texts (with links to Amazon and YouTube). Also, a scope is included, which shows the 25 lessons in this unit and the relevant third grade common core standards.
Also, there is a unit at-a-glance calendar and a table that tells you what materials you will need for each lesson. Basically, I’ve tried to make this unit super easy to implement. It has everything you need!
Next, there are some suggested lesson times. To clarify, it doesn’t matter how long your writing block is, this unit can be adapted to suit it!
A lot of teachers struggle with finding the time to teach writing. If this is you, you’re not alone!
Then, there are the 25 scripted (and step-by-step) lesson plans. The lessons follow a simple format of mini-lesson, think and share, and independent writing time. There’s a lesson focus to guide you and all of the required materials are listed with numbers. For example, you’ll know exactly which posters and printables you need.
Subsequently, there’s a video that comes with this unit. This will help you organize and implement everything.
Wondering how to assess your student’s writing? Don’t sweat it!
There’s an assessment document for this unit too. It includes a rubric to help you grade your student’s writing.
However, I’m not just throwing you to the sharks here! Rubrics can sometimes be generic or difficult to decipher. That’s why I’ve made a comprehensive document with teacher directions, as well as elaborations and examples. Moreover, there’s a video to help you understand the rubric.
Informational WRITING MENTOR TEXTS
I do give a list of suggested mentor texts that you can source, but in addition, I provide three original mentor texts for this unit! These come in PDF and PowerPoint versions (as well as color and black and white). You can print them in any size or just display them on an interactive whiteboard.
The great thing about these original mentor texts is that they include all of the features of informational writing that are taught in the unit. For example, students will see examples of subtopics, supporting details, and so much more!
Informational WRITING POSTERS
This unit comes with 19 posters that you can reference! Each lesson corresponds to them. Most importantly, they are great for giving writing ideas and reinforcing the informational writing structure.
You can print them in color and laminate them. They are great for displaying in the classroom. However, you can also display these posters digitally (if you have limited printing options).
Ready to take the leap and get this Informational Writing Unit for your class? Grab it here !
Informational WRITING PRINTABLES
There are student workbook covers that you can print. There are three options, ‘My Writing Folder’, ‘My Writing Notebook’, and ‘My Writing Journal’. Your students can glue these covers onto their folders or books. The covers come in color and black and white (there are also boy and girl versions).
Let’s now take a look at the writing prompts, worksheets, interactive notebooks, and graphic organizers!
HANDS-ON PRINTABLES
There is one interactive notebook and one all about book, as well as other cut and paste sorting activities. This way, learning is hands-on and engaging!
GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
There are a variety of graphic organizers to help students plan their informational writing and organize their thoughts. For example, students complete multiple graphic organizers to help them complete the final writing project.
PROMPTS AND WORKSHEETS
There are many different writing prompts and worksheets to help students learn to write informational pieces. They write an all about book for the topic of their choice. As well, as informational pieces about dinosaurs, space, and their school.
This is the common core standard for informational writing that is covered with these printables –
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.
THE FINAL WRITING PIECE
After students have learned about informational pieces and the requirements to include in an informational piece, they begin to prepare for their final writing piece.
First, they plan their writing. Next lesson, they write an introduction. After that, they learn about linking words and paragraphing. Then, they add details and examples to their reasoning. Finally, they write a closing.
Students will also learn about creating a table of contents and how to research an informational topic.
These are the common core standards for informational writing that are covered with these printables –
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.2.A Introduce a topic and group related information together; include illustrations when useful to aiding comprehension.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.2.B Develop the topic with facts, definitions, and details.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.2.C Use linking words and phrases (e.g., also , another , and , more , but ) to connect ideas within categories of information.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.3.2.D Provide a concluding statement or section.
WRITING CHECKLISTS
After students have written their first draft, they use two checklists to proofread their work. One checklist grades informational writing structure and the other is a more generic checklist for grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
The students do a self-check, peer check, and adult check.
WRITING CRAFT
The students create a writing craft for their final writing piece. It’s an all about book, about a country of their choice. This craft is great for a bulletin board display.
Students can choose any country to research and then share 3-5 subtopics. There are places for illustrations, as well!
I think it’s super important to have purposeful early finisher tasks and extension activities during writing lessons. Above all, we should be challenging our advanced writers. That’s why this unit also includes task cards for informational writing.

Informational Writing - Grade 3 - Dogs
Read Time 4 mins | Mar 25, 2020 5:14:37 PM | Written by: Toolbox
WOOF! WOOF! Warren, a third grade student, loved to act like a dog. He’d get down on all fours and sniff around the room, bark on command, and even sit and stay (on a good day). As you can imagine, writing was about the last thing Warren wanted to do. In fact, most days he completed very little for his classroom teacher. I was brought in to provide intervention services for this wiggly third grader and to help him to produce writing that had some substance. A large task, but not insurmountable.
What kind of dog are you? What color fur do you have? How about your tail? Is it long or short? What do you like to do? What kinds of things do you need in order to survive? Surprisingly, Warren had very specific answers to all of these questions, as a result of having plenty of first-hand “experience.”
This led me to our writing lesson of the day and the coming week. Warren and I were going to write about dogs. Luckily I knew I had a nonfiction book about dogs that I could put my hands on. We embarked on our writing lesson on the main idea, “appearance.” After engaging Warren in an oral discussion and looking at pictures of dogs we both had a good idea about physical characteristics and variations in dogs. I worked with Warren on this paragraph and, amazingly, he wrote about ten sentences, more than he had written in the previous month.
Warren went on to become a somewhat fluent writer over the course of the next few months. We just had to unlock his potential and develop some very specific skills to rely on. The sample is a good illustration of the applied skills that I work on with my students.
The introduction introduces the main ideas that are each broad enough to cover a number of interesting details, each of which is distinct from the others. The author uses many specific details and examples, an amazing fact, and an anecdote – all tools for showing rather than telling . There is also a bit of linking a fact to the idea of elaborating on that by explaining why that fact is important to the main idea. (Ex. Lonely people can get a dog – they’d have a cuddly friend, they go through an entrance blocked by fire to lead people out.) There’s also good word choice throughout this piece.
What worked:
- strong organizational strategy
- effective combination of broad yet distinct main ideas
- numerous specific examples along with why these facts are important to the main idea
- good word choice
- use of a hypothetical anecdote to bring the reader in touch, hypothetically, with the topic
- creatively restates main ideas in the conclusion
Empowering Writers has a proven methodology, specific strategies, and lessons to teach each of these skills.

In 3rd grade writing, there’s an emphasis on students’ nonfiction writing being both well-researched and well-organized. Your child’s teacher may introduce various methods to help kids organize their thoughts — from outlining to using Post-it notes and everything in between. These 3rd grade writing samples come from a class where the teacher has the kids use colored paper: pink paper for introductions, yellow paper for supporting reasons (backed by evidence ), and green paper for conclusions. There are a couple of key differences you may notice this year in terms of fundamental 3rd grade skills . For example, while second graders simply write straightforward introductory statements in their reports, third grade writing is supposed to have, “grabby,” or intriguing introductions to pique the reader’s interest. Read more about your third grader’s writing under the Common Core .
Third grade writing sample #1
Saving Water by Bella
In her report, Bella does a great job of writing a “grabby” introduction and making sure that her conclusion relates to her introduction.
Third grade writing sample #2
Saving Water by Cade
Notice how Cade includes details in his introduction. He also includes many supporting reasons, also called evidence from the text, in his report. Using evidence is an essential skill that continues to be a focus every year.
Third grade writing sample #3
Saving Water by Laura
Third graders are taught to emphasize the content and organization of their writing. Making edits to spelling and grammar are considered a final step — and aren’t quite as important as getting their ideas on paper. As you read Laura’s report, you may notice the spelling corrections (like the dark “c” in “faucet”) that she makes at the end, after concentrating on her introduction, supporting reasons, and conclusion.

Informative Essay — Purpose, Structure, and Examples
What is informative writing?
Informative writing educates the reader about a certain topic. An informative essay may explain new information, describe a process, or clarify a concept. The provided information is objective, meaning the writing focuses on presentation of fact and should not contain personal opinion or bias.
Informative writing includes description, process, cause and effect, comparison, and problems and possible solutions:
Describes a person, place, thing, or event using descriptive language that appeals to readers’ senses
Explains the process to do something or how something was created
Discusses the relationship between two things, determining how one ( cause ) leads to the other ( effect ); the effect needs to be based on fact and not an assumption
Identifies the similarities and differences between two things; does not indicate that one is better than the other
Details a problem and presents various possible solutions ; the writer does not suggest one solution is more effective than the others
Purpose of informative writing
The purpose of an informative essay depends upon the writer’s motivation, but may be to share new information, describe a process, clarify a concept, explain why or how, or detail a topic’s intricacies.
Informative essays may introduce readers to new information .
Summarizing a scientific/technological study
Outlining the various aspects of a religion
Providing information on a historical period
Describe a process or give step-by-step details of a procedure.
How to write an informational essay
How to construct an argument
How to apply for a job
Clarify a concept and offer details about complex ideas.
Explain why or how something works the way that it does.
Describe how the stock market impacts the economy
Illustrate why there are high and low tides
Detail how the heart functions
Offer information on the smaller aspects or intricacies of a larger topic.
Identify the importance of the individual bones in the body
Outlining the Dust Bowl in the context of the Great Depression
Explaining how bees impact the environment
How to write an informative essay
Regardless of the type of information, the informative essay structure typically consists of an introduction, body, and conclusion.
Introduction
Background information
Explanation of evidence
Restated thesis
Review of main ideas
Closing statement
Informative essay introduction
When composing the introductory paragraph(s) of an informative paper, include a hook, introduce the topic, provide background information, and develop a good thesis statement.
If the hook or introduction creates interest in the first paragraph, it will draw the readers’ attention and make them more receptive to the essay writer's ideas. Some of the most common techniques to accomplish this include the following:
Emphasize the topic’s importance by explaining the current interest in the topic or by indicating that the subject is influential.
Use pertinent statistics to give the paper an air of authority.
A surprising statement can be shocking; sometimes it is disgusting; sometimes it is joyful; sometimes it is surprising because of who said it.
An interesting incident or anecdote can act as a teaser to lure the reader into the remainder of the essay. Be sure that the device is appropriate for the informative essay topic and focus on what is to follow.
Directly introduce the topic of the essay.
Provide the reader with the background information necessary to understand the topic. Don’t repeat this information in the body of the essay; it should help the reader understand what follows.
Identify the overall purpose of the essay with the thesis (purpose statement). Writers can also include their support directly in the thesis, which outlines the structure of the essay for the reader.
Informative essay body paragraphs
Each body paragraph should contain a topic sentence, evidence, explanation of evidence, and a transition sentence.
A good topic sentence should identify what information the reader should expect in the paragraph and how it connects to the main purpose identified in the thesis.
Provide evidence that details the main point of the paragraph. This includes paraphrasing, summarizing, and directly quoting facts, statistics, and statements.
Explain how the evidence connects to the main purpose of the essay.
Place transitions at the end of each body paragraph, except the last. There is no need to transition from the last support to the conclusion. A transition should accomplish three goals:
Tell the reader where you were (current support)
Tell the reader where you are going (next support)
Relate the paper’s purpose
Informative essay conclusion
Incorporate a rephrased thesis, summary, and closing statement into the conclusion of an informative essay.
Rephrase the purpose of the essay. Do not just repeat the purpose statement from the thesis.
Summarize the main idea found in each body paragraph by rephrasing each topic sentence.
End with a clincher or closing statement that helps readers answer the question “so what?” What should the reader take away from the information provided in the essay? Why should they care about the topic?
Informative essay example
The following example illustrates a good informative essay format:

Informative/explanatory writing in the classroom, grades 3–12, by: tiffany rehbein.
Lets explore the importance of teaching informative/explanatory writing in the classroom. Students need to have the ability to clearly convey concepts and information in their writing. This skill is crucial for communication in future careers and life! Download a FREE Informative/Explanatory Writing Kit now!
The Purpose of Informative/Explanatory Writing
The primary purpose of informative/explanatory writing is to increase knowledge. When writing an informative/explanatory text, the writer answers questions of why or how. Informative writing educates the reader by imparting straightforward information on a certain topic. Unlike other types of writing, informative writing does not aim to change the reader's thinking or move the reader to take action.
Download a kit of resources that will help students improve their informative/explanatory writing skills.
Elements of an Informative/Explanatory Essay
A well-written informative essay should include the following elements:
Has an introduction that introduces a topic and grabs the reader's attention
Clearly conveys information and ideas about a topic
Develops a topic with a variety of specific, relevant details, such as facts, examples, quotations, and anecdotes
Clearly organizes ideas and information, using strategies such as compare/contrast, cause/effect, definition, and classification
Uses formatting, graphics, and multimedia, such as hyperlinks when appropriate
Uses precise language and vocabulary appropriate to the topic
Uses appropriate transition words and phrases that clarify the relationship among ideas
Uses a formal style and tone
Ends with a conclusion that summarizes the main points and follows logically from the information presented
Follows the conventions of standard English
This checklist is a great tip sheet for students to keep in their folders! Teachers can access this checklist in the Informative/Explanatory Writing Kit .
Introductions and Conclusions for Informational Writing
Introductions
In many essays, the first paragraph should introduce your topic to readers and include a thesis statement, or claim. A thesis statement is one or two sentences that state your main idea.
A strong introduction also needs to capture the readers’ attention. Students can use one of the following to get readers interested right away:
- Include an unusual fact
- Ask a question

Transition Words and Phrases for Information Writing
A well-written informational essay uses techniques to build coherence between and within paragraphs. Coherence in writing means that a reader can move easily and clearly from one idea to the next. To achieve coherence, writers use transitions words and phrases. Linking ideas and key information with transition words and phrases will tie one sentence to another and show the connections between ideas.
Below is a tip sheet that lists transition words and phrases that can be used to build coherence between and within paragraphs. Download my Informative/Explanatory Writing Kit to make get the worksheet for your students!
Informative/Explanatory Writing Assignments
There are a number of ways for students to practice writing informative/explanatory texts. Some of my favorite informative writing assignments are:
- Basic Paragraph
- Brochure/Pamphlet
Writing Assignment Idea #1
My Informative/Explanatory Writing Kit includes an informational writing activity worksheet for students! With this informative writing assignment students will write about something they like to make or do. It could be their favorite recipe or craft, a game they like to play or hobby. Using the worksheet, students will write the directions of how to follow the rules, recipe, or steps to create something. In addition to writing about something they like to make/play, students will underline all linking words and draw an illustration!
Below are two additional writing assignments you could assign students to work on their informative writing skills. In addition to looking at the ways your students write informative or explanatory texts, you will also have the chance to check that proper nouns are capitalized properly. What a great way to combine writing and grammar!
Writing Assignment Idea #2
To assess how well your students write informative/explanatory texts, use calendar holidays as a writing topic. For instance, you might ask students to choose their favorite holiday and explain in writing why they like it the best.
To help students choose a holiday for an explanatory essay, you could provide them with a list. Some common holidays follow:
- Thanksgiving
- New Year’s Eve
- Valentine's Day
- St. Patrick's Day
- Fourth of July
Writing Assignment Idea #3
Want to be more creative? You can add a twist to the informative essay and provide your students with some lesser-known days of celebration. This would encourage students to do some research and inform their audience. Here are some possible calendar celebrations students could research and write about:
- Metropolitan Museum of Art Opened in NYC (1872)
- Jackie Robinson Day
- World Fish Migration Day
- National Plush Animal Day
- King Tut Day
- William Shakespeare's Birthday
- Transportation Week
- World Architecture Day

How to Write an Expository Essay for Grade Three
How to Make an Outline for a Fourth Grade Research Paper
Third grade is often the year when students first begin to experiment with structured writing, such as the expository essay. Writing an expository essay in third grade is a lot like making a sandwich. Just as a good sandwich has three parts -- the top bun, fillings and bottom bun -- a good expository essay also has three parts: the introduction, details and conclusion.
Choose a Topic
You write an expository essay to tell or teach the reader about a topic. Start by choosing a topic that you think is interesting and that you already know a lot about. You might choose to write about an animal you like, a place you have visited or a person whom you have read about. If you have too many ideas, make a list and then close your eyes and pick.
Do Some Research
Research is when you look for more information on a topic. Start your research by choosing and reading a book about your topic. Pick a book that is nonfiction, as it will have factual information that you can use in your essay. As you read, take notes. Use a notebook to copy down the facts that you think are most important and to write down questions that you have. You will refer to these notes as you write your essay.
Write the Introduction
The beginning of your expository essay is your introduction -- where you capture the reader's attention and tell her what the main idea of the essay is going to be. Make the introduction as interesting as possible so that the reader wants to keep reading. A good way to start an introduction is with a question or with an amazing fact. For example: "Did you know that great white sharks can eat up to 11 tons of food a year? Sharks are amazing and important fish."
Add Some Details
Once you have hooked the reader's attention, tell him more about your topic. Details are individual facts that provide more information about a topic. The best details give sensory information. That means that they give more information that helps your reader imagine how things feel, smell, sound, taste or look. Try to include at least three details in your expository essay. For example: "Sharks might look smooth when they are in the water, but their skin is actually very rough. Sharks are often called silent hunters, because the only sounds they make are crunching sounds -- after they've caught their prey."
Write a Conclusion
The final part of your expository essay is the conclusion where you return to the main idea of your essay and restate it in different words. The conclusion helps tie the whole essay together and reminds the reader of the most important points. Conclusions often start with phrases like "in conclusion," "as you can see," "finally" or "in the end."
Proofread Your Work
If you wrote your essay on paper, reread it and look for spelling, punctuation and capital letter mistakes. If you find any, fix them. If you wrote your essay on the computer, print out a copy and read it on paper, looking for the same kinds of mistakes. Before you hand in your work, check that your name is on the paper. You want to get credit for the hard work you did.

How to Teach Informative Writing
n this post, I share 5 tips for How to Teach Informative Writing and provide details about my Informational Writing Unit resources for for Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students. Be sure to download 3 FREE Informational Writing Graphic Organizers!
We write for a variety of purposes. The most popular are to inform, entertain, explain, or persuade. While we teach our students to write for each of these different purposes, the ability to effectively write an informative piece of writing is a highly important skill for students to learn. It is one of the most common types of writing we use in our everyday lives.
Today I’m excited to share 5 tips for teaching informational writing, as well as a valuable resource that has everything you need to teach informative writing to your kindergarten , first grade , or second grade students!
1. Read Informative Writing Mentor Texts
As a teacher, you may “Start with the end in mind” when you plan out your units of study, but it also applies to students learning about different genres of writing. Before you can ask your students to write in a genre that is new to them, you must first immerse them in it.
So to begin your informational writing unit, you’ll want to share lots of quality informational texts with your students. These mentor texts provide students with excellent examples of informational writing. As you read them aloud, highlight the way the author structures their writing and the features they include to help make their writing more clear for the reader. All of these things will help students better understand what type of writing we are asking them to do.
When you’re picking informative mentor texts to share with your students there are a few things to consider . First, do you (the educator) think it is excellent? Second, is it easy for your students to understand? And finally, is it relevant to the type of writing you are teaching? If you answer “Yes!” to all three, then you’re good to go!
To help you out I’ve created a list of excellent mentor texts you can use when teaching Informative Writing to kindergarten, first, or second grade students.
A List of Informative Writing Mentor Texts:
Gail Gibbons
- The Moon Book
- The Pumpkin Book
Nicola Davies
- One Tiny Turtle
- Big Blue Whale
- Bat Loves the Night
- Surprising Sharks
Jim Arnosky
- Slither and Crawl
- Frozen Wild
- Beachcombing: Exploring the Seashore
Diana Aston
- An Egg is Quiet
- A Beetle is Shy
- A Seed is Sleepy
- A Rock is Lively
I’ve saved all these titles on one board so you can easily take a closer look at these mentor texts. Click here to see this list on Amazon .
2. Model Your Own Informational Writing
Never underestimate the importance of modeling! It’s the most powerful tool in your arsenal.
When teaching informative writing first model how to choose a topic. Picking a topic is fun and easy because you get to choose something you already know a lot about!
Remind students that they are already experts in so many areas!! This can be a big confidence booster for kids who might normally struggle to come up with ideas to write about. Use think alouds to show them how you brainstorm a list of topics you already know a lot about and show them how you narrow it down to one.
Next, model how you gather information and organize your ideas. For informative writing you can show them how you use your prior knowledge, as well as pull important information from outside resources like books and websites.
Finally, reread your work aloud and show students how you catch silly mistakes such as spelling, capitalization or punctuation errors. You can also show how you add more details to make your piece more informative for your reader.
3. Use Anchor Charts
You want your students to know that when they write an informative piece they are sharing facts, or true information, with their reader. They are not sharing their opinion. It is important to take time to review fact vs. opinion with your students. You can create an anchor chart that clearly defines fact vs. opinion and then practice determining if different statements are facts or opinions.
You will also want to create an anchor chart using the writing you model. This will serve as another example of excellent informative writing. As a class, add labels to identify the topic sentence, supporting facts/details and the closing sentence in your shared writing.
Post these anchor charts in your writing center so your students can refer back to them and use them as support as they write their own pieces.
4. Allow students to edit and share their writing
Provide a good writers checklist at your writing center. For informative writing you’ll want the checklist to include items such, “Does my writing have a topic sentence?” “Did I include enough facts?” and “Do I have a closing sentence?”, as well reminders to check for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors.
Give students the opportunity to share their writing with others! Pair students with partners and let them read their pieces to each other.
You can teach them to provide each other with a bit of feedback by encouraging them to use sentence starters such as, “I like the way you….:” , “I learned that….” or “Your writing made me wonder….”. Of course, this is also something you’d first want to model. Posting these sentence starters in your writing center provides support and helps to keep students focused and on-task.
5. Provide Daily Opportunities for Students to Write
As with all things, writing takes PRACTICE! Informative writing requires students to do a lot of hard work. It requires that they think carefully about their purpose for writing. Then they must plan what they’ll say and how they’ll say it.
Finally, they’ve got to get it down on the paper in a way that is clear for the reader. That’s a lot for a young child!
Students need dedicated instructional time to learn the skills and strategies necessary to become effective writers, as well as time to practice what they learn. When you think about your daily instructional schedule, make sure you are giving your students ample opportunities to practice their informational writing through whole group instruction, small groups and/or through independent practice in writing centers.
Informative Writing Unit For Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade Students
We know informational writing requires a lot from students, but planning these informative writing units is also A LOT of work for you as the teacher!
To help you out I created informative writing units that have the essential resources you need to teach and students to independently practice informational writing! These units are a perfect addition to your literacy work in writing centers.
Today I’m excited to share with you the details about my Kindergarten Informative , 1st Grade Informative, and my 2nd grade Informative writing units!
These units were developed with standards-based research specific to each grade. They have EVERYTHING you need to give your students ample amounts of practice writing informational pieces. You can use them within whole class or small group lessons, or as a literacy center where students can practice independently!
What’s Included in these Informative Writing Resources?
The kindergarten , first grade, and the second grade resources all include information to help you teach the unit, as well as mini-lesson to provide your students a review of informative writing. You’ll get a list of suggested mentor texts and online resources, academic vocabulary posters, a printable fact vs. opinion anchor chart, and graphic organizers appropriate for each grade level.
The kindergarten resource also includes the materials needed for students to create seasonal writing mini-books . Each mini-book comes with traceable sentence stems and a picture supported vocabulary word bank. This helps your young writers brainstorm ideas for what to write about and support their spelling.
You’ll also get an editing checklist that is specific to informative writing but also appropriate for the kindergarten level.
Instead of a seasonal mini-book, the first grade and second grade resource comes with seasonal writing prompts . You’ll get 5 informative writing prompts for each season, so you can practice informative writing all throughout the year.
The prompts are both PRINTABLE & DIGITAL. The digital version has been PRELOADED for you, with 1 click add them to your Google Drive or upload them to SeeSaw.
Each seasonal prompt also comes with publishing paper that includes a story specific vocabulary bank to provide spelling support and help students get ideas for what to write about.
Finally, you’ll also get a self-editing checklist and rubric that have both been made specifically for informative writing. This rubric can be used to help guide students as they work on their pieces, and/or as a self-assessment tool.
I love these resources because they can be used in so many different ways. They offer opportunities for students to practice informative writing as a whole class, in small groups, as a literacy center activity, for homework, or as a meaningful activity for when you have a substitute teacher! They provide k-2 students with all the practice they need to master informative writing!
