As stated in a previous post, students have been exploring introductions and looking at different ways of beginning an informational writing piece. We have found that authors sometimes start with the big idea, they may ask a question, authors sometimes start with an action, and many found an invitation to be the most interesting. Other authors sometimes begin with a short story or opinion of their topic that is about to be taught. Check out the video to hear some students own twist and examples of introductions they created for their teaching books. Students are trying out interesting introductions in their own writing this week and will soon learn about closings before we publish our first informational teaching book. More on that later!
