Informative/Explanatory Writing

Step 1: Students will work collaboratively to demonstrate skill understanding through selecting a topic from a pre-selected list established by the instructor based around Cause and Effect 

Step 2: Learners will brainstorm and formulate an outline of their multi-paragraph essay (prewriting). 

Then independently write an multi-paragraph informative using The Writing Process Handout as a guide. 

The instructor will begin to engage the learner groups in dialogue when editing (proofreading) and rewriting their paragraphs; asking open ended questions.  The learners will share their drafts with their peers during the editing/proofreading phase prior to rewriting. Learners will check for spelling, capitalization and punctuation. They may also use the writing rubric Steps 1-5  (as mentioned in the materials section) to provide objective feedback.
