My students LOVE learning about geography. They will randomly read the maps in the classroom and ask questions-is there really a country called Turkey? Does the Easter bunny live on Easter Island? So consistently since the beginning of the year, every Friday we take a virtual field trip and learn about a new place.
So when our curriculum said to teach informational text I thought it was a perfect opportunity to do a little project and let them apply what they learned. They chose a country and then wrote an outline. From that outline they made an illustration (with labels-a text feature of informational text) and then wrote their final papers. I was so pleased with the outcome. (My virtual kids did it using Pear Deck).
