Here are a few examples of types of writing that were successful and increased the learning of the content using both reading and writing skills in my classroom.
Writing to Learn:
*Students can use note taking-we created our own graphic organizers and made lists of new content that is learned. By using science notebooks we had a place to write, take notes or create diagrams about science content daily.
*Students can use close nonfiction reading strategies to make notes or annotate as they read. Make sure to check out Beers and Probst in the resources section for this amazing resource.
*Students can create a diagram in science notebooks to share information learned
*Students can write a summary as students read. Use the GIST method with non-fiction and content area reading. Try it now.
