Module 1: Fossils Tells of Earth's Changes

Guiding Questions and Big Ideas:

What do paleontologists do?

How do characters respond to major events?

What can we learn from studying fossils?

How do readers learn more about a topic from informational texts?

How do authors write compelling narratives?

Performance Task:

Informative Writing: Writing a Narrative about Discovering a Fossil

You have just written a narrative from the point of view of a paleontologist about the moment

you discovered a fossil. Your narrative should needs to include detailed illustrations that match

the beginning, middle, and end of the narrative.
