I began our unit this week by introducing Probst and Beers’ Three Big Questions and the Signposts Strategies for Nonfiction. Both units give me an opportunity to integrate a range of reading, writing, and research strategies from Smokey Daniels and Nancy Steineke, Bob Probst and Kylene Beers, Stephanie Harvey, Cris Tovani, Gretchen Bernabei, Kelly Gallagher, Lucy Calkins, and Jane Schaffer. I am so excited that our pacing guide pairs informational text with informational writing and then allows a second round of study in Quarter 3 to build student stamina with informational text and argumentative writing (we’ll be engaging in nonfiction book clubs! come January!).
This past week we began our study of informational text and writing for Quarter 2.
