Writing
Our first writing unit is Narrative Writing. Students write about small moments in their life, adding multiple important and interesting details. The second unit is Informational Writing. Students research and organize information to tell a reader all they know about a topic. The third unit is Opinion Writing. Students state their opinion on a topic and are able to support their opinion with multiple reasons.
