Below you will find an entire unit based around informational text.

Simply go to File > Make a copy to tweak the lessons and make them your own. Remember to relink any material.

Alternatively, if you do not want to use this text you can use the lessons as a model for other texts. The lessons were created around the idea of HyperDocs and the Reading Nonfiction: Notice & Note Stances, Signposts, and Strategies by Beers and Probst.
