Common Core Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.K.2- Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.
Materials:
Starter:
Say:
- Have you ever told someone about something that you learned and think is interesting? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
- Telling someone like a family member or a friend about something that you learned and think is interesting can be fun and exciting. Learning about new things is exciting and sharing them is even better.
- What are some ways that you can share something that you learned? (Allow the students to answer.)
- You can tell someone by speaking to them, you can draw a picture or you can write about it.
- When you are talking to someone about something that you have learned, you tell them something and they can ask questions. When you are writing or drawing a picture, you need to include as many details as you can and think about what someone might ask you.
- You should always start by telling the person what you are going to be telling them about. You can then add any details or interesting facts that you learned.
- For example, if I am writing about my favorite place to go, I would write, “I love the beach. I love listening to the waves, the smell of the ocean and the feel of the sand.”
- Today, you are going to be writing about what football is. You should think about how you can explain about football and the different facts that you learned about it.
- What do you think you could write?
- I might write, “Football is a game played with a ball and two teams. Each team tries to score points by throwing or running with the ball.”
- Does anyone have any questions about what to do?
Feedback:
Say:
- Who would like to share what you wrote? (Allow the students to share.)
