In 6th grade writing class we will be beginning an informational writing unit as soon as we have completed the MEA testing. Students will be researching  activism and a variety of young people  who have made a difference by participating in a cause they are passionate about. Once research is completed, students will develop a claim and will be writing essays using their research.  Students will also use this information to create a presentation about the activist they researched. The essay will be assessed using the 6th grade standards for informational writing.

During the first trimester, students will be writing narratives.  Narratives are stories about events that have happened in students' lives.  In sixth grade elaboration and writer's craft are the big focus.  Students will learn to develop characters and plot through dialogue, character thoughts and feelings, small actions, and adding lots of description.  Students will soon be selecting one of their rough draft narrative to publish.
