Help make leanring to write informational texts fun and engaging with our Fact Banners! Students can learn the basics of research and record one key fact on their writing pennant to put with the rest of their peers for a class collaborative display of writing!
- read some information books
- research your chosen topic/animal and review some websites that are appropriate for children (National Geographic for Kids is excellent)
- model for the students how to locate some key information and write it down together (model how to write)
- let students have a pennant and record a fact of their choice
- students could do some more research or use the list of facts you found together as a class
This process is a practical first step in your students journey for informational writing. They will practice some key skills in a collaborative and supported community of learners.
I am updating all our current fact banner packets to give you more options for differentiation, including a blank banner so your youngest learners can draw instead of write.
As well, a digital activity is being added to each pack - giving you the opportunity to use Easel by TpT in presentation mode for a whole class lesson or distribute to students for a writing task on their devices.
Find all our current (and secure future release) fact banners in the bundle and find even more banners for your classroom on the website!
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog, I do hope you have a wonderful day.
