In this first lesson, students are introduced to informative writing. The lesson begins with an introduction to the writing process and to annotation. Then, student pairs or small groups examine an informative writing model and discuss what they notice about the way the writer organizes the model and conveys information clearly. The teacher then provides direct instruction on the components of effective informative writing, using the model as an example.
