WRITING

To start Term One, Rm 18 is looking at Information writing and how we can inform ourselves, our teacher and others about topics we are looking at in class.  We have begun looking at Champions which is our overall theme for this term.  We shared and discussed about someone whom we felt was a Champion in something he / she had achieved.  We selected the one and only Usain Bolt.

  Here is our WALT (We Are Learning To)

We shared about what we already knew about Usain Bolt and what we wanted to know about him.  We then went on to research and gather relevant information based on our inquiry questions.

After gathering a range of information, we then worked on planning our writing.  We researched some sites that gave us some examples and tips on information writing and its purpose, which is to inform the reader.

From this, we went on to planning our writing with what we knew and information gathered, that was relevant, interesting and new, so that we can inform others of why Usain Bolt is  a CHAMPION!!

 We have gone through the beginning stages of the Writing Process and will now begin writing our information report. We will keep you updated on our learning and the completion of our  information report.
