This literacy unit provides teachers with EVERYTHING they need to successfully teach an informational reading and writing workshop for an entire month of school! Lesson plans, mentor texts, suggested anchor charts, and much more are included in this unit. Reading and writing are so closely related. The two subjects are taught together on a single day. The writing lessons build off of the reading lessons. If the teacher chooses, both subjects can be taught independently.
How to Begin Using the Informational Units
The first reading lesson helps identify text features found in informational books. Teachers can use the provided mentor texts to help teach this lesson. They also can use a popular book from the suggested book list. Teachers can use a book from their own library too. There are so many options. Below is an anchor chart from the reading lesson on day 1.
The writing lesson builds off of the learning from the reading lesson. Each lesson can also be a stand-alone lesson. Students do not need to do research in this unit. They are building off of topics that they already know a lot about.
The teacher introduces a new lesson and students examine it with texts that they have read together in class. Then, students get a chance to practice these skills using a book from their own reading level. Next, graphic organizers are provided so that students can show their learning. These are the graphic organizers for reading and writing lesson 1. Finally, students fill these out on their own and add these organizers to their notebooks. This is a great way to show their learning and use them as a reference.
Below is a list of all of the lessons in this informational unit. All grade levels follow the same lessons. The mentor texts and the standards change for each grade level.
