Informational Writing- Work on Finishing Rough Draft and Start on Final

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- Finish your rough draft and begin working on your final. 

• Use the revising/editing checklists in your packet. 
  • You want your essay to be well-done. Look at the list above- does your essay cover all of those details?
  • You need to have 3 people read over your work. Sometimes other eyes can help you see some things that are missing that you don't catch.
    • When you read other's writing, we are not being "mean", we are helping- there is a difference!
