Did your jaw drop like mine when you read the common core
writing standards!? I mean I always set
aside a time during the day for writer’s workshop….but now I have to
restructure it a bit to meet each piece of the writing standards. As I was researching on how to effectively
meet these writing standards I came across a second grade site from
Georgia. This teacher did a nice job of
showing a variety of informational writing pieces and if they meet the
expectations. It was pretty mind blowing
to see what second graders are expected to
write. You can take a peek for yourself below:
Ok, so are worried yet!?
Haha I was too, but then realized we already are writing similar to this
but I just need to model informational pieces a little more frequent. This led me to create a writing pack solely
on informational writing. I thought the
best way to focus more heavily on informational writing was to integrate it
with science and social studies.
Therefore, this writing pack focuses on second grade science and social
studies standards.
Included in this informational writing pack are: 5 posters
breaking down each step, 2 revising and editing posters, a list of read aloud
books for mini lessons, several graphic organizers to arrange information, two
writing reports along with differentiated rubrics, a memory game for
topic sentence practice, a list for grades 1-3 of the writing standards this
pack covers, and more! Head on over to our
TPT store to take a look.
Happy Friday! =)
