Important Points in the Lesson Itself
- To support ELLs, this lesson uses the Painted Essay® format to help students understand an informative essay’s overall structure, the purpose of each part of the essay, and how the different parts connect. Additionally, the use of an Informative Writing checklist helps students to identify important elements of the essay, preparing them to write their own informative essays in upcoming lessons.
- ELLs may find it challenging to identify all of the criteria on the Informative Writing checklist . Celebrate students’ successes in recognizing items on the checklist, and encourage collaboration to ensure that students have support in identifying how the model essay meets the criteria. Reassure students that they will be working closely with the model over the next few lessons and that they will have ample time to become more familiar with how each of the criteria is met before they begin writing their own essays.
