This week during writing class we are starting a new unit, Information writing. We have already done this unit but we are doing it again so that we can get better at it. In this unit some of us are working on conclusions some of us are working on introductions, some on elaboration and some on craft. There are a lot of other things we are doing to get better at information writing.
Also in class, we are doing P.O.P which stands for Patterns Of Power. During P.O.P we look at sentences to see what we notice and we raise our hands and tell the class what we are noticing and thinking. We do P.O.P every day right in the beginning of writing class. We like P.O.P a ton because we learn so much and we get to be way stronger writers.
We are also doing research on a topic of our choice. For example, you could choose to learn about snakes or pandas. First, you get a book and research on your topic. Then you take notes. Lastly, you type it into google docs. It is fun to do. We have a special binder that we keep all of the important things in there. For example, we have a tools folder, a working on a section, and the P.O.P section. In our P.O.P we do little sentences that will help us improve our writing. Tools are basically tools to help us if we are stuck on what we should put into our writing piece. Lastly, our working on section is things that we haven’t finished yet, so we put it there for us to get back at it and finish it later.
