Informational Writing

Objective:

I can write an informative piece which examines a topic and convey ideas where I:
- introduce a topic, organize ideas with appropriate structure, include formatting and graphics when useful
- use facts, definitions, details and quotations or other examples to develop the topic
- use appropriate transitions to clarify relationships among ideas
- use precise language and vocabulary to explain about the topic
- establish and maintain a formal style
- provide a concluding statement or section

Today's Goal: Complete your rough draft

Using the outline in your packet, complete your rough draft
Make sure you have a good introduction and conclusion
- remember, the introduction and conclusion are related
For each subtopic you should have 3+ facts
- for each fact, you need to elaborate! (remember, bratty teenager wants to know why it's important that you are telling them the facts)
