Blog Post #4: 5th 6 Weeks


Our focus for this six weeks centers around informational texts. We've talked a lot about informational texts this year. An informational text is always fact-based. The eBooks we've been reading in class provide readers with information about certain topics. That information can always be proved by looking it up in some other source, such as a text book, online article, dictionary, or encyclopedia.

The prompt for this week is going to ask you to think about an informational text you think should be taught in schools. You can base your answers off of a text that has already been written or one that you think should be written.

The initial question: What is the topic of the informational text? To answer this question, consider the following sub-questions: 1) Why do you think this topic should be taught? 2) Who is the audience for this type of book (i.e. kids your age, kids younger than you, high school students)? 3) Why is this topic important to education? 4) What is the result of this topic not being taught in class? 5) Who would teach this text?
Answer the initial and sub-questions in four complete, thoughtful sentences. Be specific. Happy writing!

  2. I say they should do sports.Because a lot of kids in middle school and highschool(the audience)are really interested in sports and if they don't know how to play well then teach it to them.Like I said the audience would be kids in middle school and highscool.It may help them to either just fulfill their dream or get in shape.And the jim or caoches should teach them because well you know their coaches and know a lot about the sports.

  3. So we can know wut is coming to us and wut is going to happen. The readers are the audience. So we can learn what is happening in real life. The result of this topic might be that we will have knoledge later on. I would if i could but the teacher knows what she's doing with it.
