ICYMI: Diving into Information Writing Blog Series Recap

Wow, this blog series was chock-full of information, wasn’t it? I read (and reread) each of my co-author’s posts, scribbling notes to myself each day. Information writing is so complex, and each post highlighted a different aspect of this fascinating genre. In case you missed it:

On Sunday, Anna showed us how we might guide students to discover the qualities of information writing. She shed some light on the important characteristics of this genre.
On Monday, Betsy offered some suggestions on how to give students choice in planning, in topics, and in format.
On Tuesday, Stacey walked us through the process of creating a teacher-written demonstration text for an information writing unit.
On Wednesday, Deb wrote about how she surrounds her primary students with information writing and how they begin to explore this genre.
On Thursday, I wrote about how teachers might support their students as they try their hand at narrative nonfiction.
On Friday, Kathleen shared the many ways she is working to infuse information writing into her third grade classroom.
On Saturday, Beth shared ways to add beauty and voice to information writing.
On Sunday, Tara wrote about the many ways her students use their writers’ notebooks to dive into information writing.
