As the school year continues, we will transition from the opinion writing unit to the informational/explanatory writing unit . This is the third unit of study we will use from the Lucy Calkins Writer's Workshop program that students will participate in during their fourth grade year.
Informational/explanatory writing is a style of writing where the author provides information about a given topic. The purpose is for the author to convey more information about the topic so that the reader can learn more about the topic.
