Writer's Workshop

     This week in Writer's Workshop, we learned about Informational Text Structures.  A text structure is the style of format of writing about a topic.  Some structures include Box & Bullets, Causes & Effects, Pros & Cons, and Compare & Contrast.  We practiced each of these structures when writing about a topic we are familiar with.  Next week, we'll create Informational Text books about the historical topic of Exploration, and we'll select some specific Social Studies topics we've recently learned about.
