Six pages for one informative piece. Page 1 plans it: topic, reader, kind of writing, what the reader should learn and where to find facts. Page 2 sorts facts into two named groups, with a word to know and a picture. Page 3 is a plan on lines: the topic, an introduction, facts, a word to know and an ending. Page 4 has two pictures to draw with captions, and a word with its meaning. Page 5 is a paragraph frame, and page 6 a page of linking words.
Read two short texts on one animal and list facts on sticky notes. Then let students sort the notes into groups and name each group before they fill in page 2. Each group becomes a paragraph.
Ask your child to teach you about an animal. When they tell a fact, ask which group it belongs in: how it looks, what it eats, where it lives.
Informative writing about an animal, planned in groups of facts. Students introduce the topic, sort facts into named groups, add a definition and pictures with captions, link ideas with also, another and but, and write an ending.
