Kicking Off Unit 2-Informational Writing

Did you know Mrs. Schmidt loves to go camping?  I know I learn something new every day!  :)  In this writing lesson, students were gathered on the carpet as Mrs. Schmidt shared her writing piece about setting up a camp site.  Students were highly engaged as she shared from her own personal "expertise" about this topic.

Because she had not written the entire piece, she had students help her generate a list of additional things she could write about for her subject.
