Teacher Modeling
will model turning the notes from my outline (from Lesson 2) into a research report. I will explain that each Roman numeral topic in the outline will be its own paragraph. I will model writing an introduction paragraph and the second paragraph of the report. (Direct Teaching Teacher Example Report is provided below in Teacher and Student Materials.)
-
Think Check
Ask: How did I create my report? Students should respond that you wrote an introduction paragraph about your topic. Then you used your notes in your outline and wrote a paragraph about for each Roman Numeral topic. Finally, you wrote a concluding paragraph.
-
Guided Practice
will finish writing the report from the outline. We will also write a conclusion paragraph. (Direct Teaching Teacher Example Report is provided below.)
-
Independent Practice
will use your outline (Independent Practice for Lesson 2) to write a research report. You will include an introduction, conclusion, and all the information you learned, categorized appropriately in paragraphs.
