Your first informative piece is nearly finished. Lets make sure you remember the process you took to become an author by recording the steps we took to get to this point. Please include the following in your post:
Concentric Circles: We spent some time brainstorming our topics this quarter. What did you choose? Why did you choose it? What other ideas did you have?
Organizing: In order to keep all our ideas in the right order, we used graphic organizers to keep our thoughts together. How did this help you? How much time did you spend on this? Will you choose to use this organizer again in the future?
Mentor Texts: We read examples that could help us see how other authors have written informative pieces. What did you take away from their work?
Sentence Fluency: We found ways to make our sentences sound better to our readers. Which sentences did you change and how did you change them? What other ways can we change sentences?
Revising and Editing: What else did you do to make your piece stronger? Did you add facts or personal experiences? How did you use transition words? Quotes or interesting leads? Why is your piece better than it was two weeks ago?
The Finished Product: Show us what you've done!
I hope this reflection will guide you through your second writing piece. Feel free to add photos from your notebook or screen shots from your Google Drive. You can also be finding photos to add to your finish piece!
