We began a new unit of writing this week. The new unit is nonfiction based, focused on writing how-to procedural pieces of writing. Students explored the idea that just like there are lots of different types of dogs, there are also different types of writing. We've been exploring and researching model how-to writing done by other children and adults, looking to see what it entails. This unit, over the next few weeks will help children elaborate and be specific, learn how to use transition words, and begin to learn about nonfiction features.
