Description
This 5 week informational writing unit will help you teach your second grade students to write biographies and lab reports! This pack has everything you need, from complete informational writing lesson plans, to biography articles for student research, to writing paper, to posters, to writing rubrics, and more.
The unit begins with students writing biographies about famous people by doing some simple research (20 different articles at a second grade reading level are provided for student use). Then, students will move on to writing lab reports about science experiments involving solids, liquids, and gases. Students incorporate those lab reports into informational (nonfiction) books.
This unit is designed to be taught toward the middle or end of the year.
In this informational writing unit, students will learn how to:
- Take notes on a topic and use the notes to write a biography
