Today and tomorrow you will be researching the planet you have chosen for your informative writing using the questions you created last week.
Below is a template to record your research - you can print this off or recreate it in your Writers Notebook.
In the left hand column you will list your first question. Using the website links below or any non-fiction information books you have at home begin to search for information that will help you to answer your questions. If you take time now to find lots of information you will have more opportunity for success when we begin writing our informative pieces.
After you find information don’t forget to note the source of the information in the right hand column.
