and the EDIT CHECKLIST Download EDIT CHECKLIST that students will use days 4 and 5. They are great resources to use in conversations about drafting.

Day 3 Instructions:

Gather all of the organizers you filled out while reading Stargazing and Orion the Hunter. You will use the information from your notes to help you answer the Essential Question.
You will also need and Informative Writing Graphic Organizer listed above. Choose your preferred file type.
Now it's time to answer the Essential Question: How do you explain what you see in the sky?
Review your notes. Write your answer to the EQ in the top box of the new graphic organizer.
Using information from your reading notes, organize your ideas to answer and support the Essential Question in the rest of the new graphic organizer. You won't be able to fit all of the information in, so be sure to pick just the information that you feel best supports your answer to the Essential Question.
DRAFT: Once your ideas are organized, it's time to draft your response — we turn your words and phrases in the organizer into sentences and paragraphs.
Sit down with a blank piece of paper or a blank Word document and begin writing. You decide how best to present your ideas through writing. One idea can be explained in two sentences, just like two ideas can be explained in one sentence. You are the master of your writing. Write however it best makes sense to you.
While writing, also keep the reader in mind. How will this sound to someone reading your writing? Are you communicating clearly?
