Unit 2- Crafting True Stories

Unit 2 - Crafting True Stories

Overarching goal for sentence writing. 

Information writing begins with a great topic! We are writing  about topics we already know really well!

If you can teach the topic...you can write about the topic! Try teaching your topic to someone before you begin writing.

Let's amp up our writing in Grade 3 to make it strong!

Information writing can start in so many different ways! We looked at mentor texts and listed ways we can write introductions.

Put thought into your conclusion! Make the writing sound just as good as the rest of your story,

One of the most fun things about information writing is getting to add in some cool text features! Text features will help your reader understand your topic even better.

Our first poetry style...the Acrostic Poem.

Animal Alliteration

Autobiography Poetry to write about yourself.

Exploring similes

Limerick poetry began in 1849!

One way to think up a topic for persuasive writing is to look around our everyday environments and see the problems...then write about the solutions! 

Another way to think of a topic is to reflect on the people in our lives who do amazing things and deserve recognition.

Persuasive letter writing takes on an organized structure.  We have worked with a graphic organizer to help us to organize our ideas.

To make our voices heard, we need to be Brave and Bold! We spent time revising our class story to do away with "wishy washy words".

To make our writing convincing, we can talk directly to our audience.

Adding feelings, telling mini stories and asking our audience questions are all ways that we can expand the details in our writing.

Introductions should include a mix of these elements to hook the audience in.
