After reading Chapters 8 and 9, you now have an in-depth look at the three types of writing described in the writing standards (narrative, persuasive/argumentative, and informational). As noted, the standards are written to mirror the same learning progressions within each text type. Given that everyone may not already teach all three types, this a nice feature, allowing teachers to use similar strategies across the three types.
PROMPT:
What should we expect to see in our students’ independent writing samples for:
- opinion/argument text (writing)
- informational text (writing)
Your response to the prompt is due by Monday evening February 24. Then, you are expected to revisit this site and respond to at least one of your fellow participant’s comments by Thursday, February 27.
Don’t forget to read chapter 10 in anticipation of next week’s prompt.
