Lesson: Today the students learned about the steps to informative paragraph writing. I used a PowerPoint to explain each step, and the students practiced these steps on page 4 of their packet. We practiced with a sample prompt, "How do you show EXcelsior EXcellence in the classroom?" For a copy of the PowerPoint, click here. The steps are as follows:
- Read and analyze the prompt.
- Identify the Topic, Audience, and Key Words.
- Stop and think about what you know.
- Brainstorm what you know.
- Pick and choose the best details from your brainstorm.
- Make a plan and color code.
- Draft your paragraph.
- Edit and revise.
- Write your final draft.
