After getting our feet wet with exploring some migration topics in the Fall, we are jumping right back in this Spring, tying our Informational Writing unit to our migration PBL! Upon selecting a migration topic, we will begin to plan, write and eventually create a book or brochure as an migration expert! The first few steps involve the many different ways we can plan and organize our writing into subtopics, using an outline, cause and effect chart, pro and con chart, or mind map. My personal favorite is the mind map as it shows how different subtopics and ideas can be interconnected! Next steps will be writing a hook to grab the reader's attention using questions, visualization, an interesting fact, or perhaps a letter to the reader!
