Lesson: Today we started a new unit about informative writing. The students will be learning about the characteristics of informative writing and the parts of a paragraph. First, the students learned about informative writing, defined it, and wrote down characteristics and examples of informative writing. I used a PowerPoint, and the students wrote notes on page 1 of their informative packet. For a copy of the PowerPoint, click here. Next, we talked about the parts of a paragraph and how they are like a hamburger. See the illustration below!
