January 11, 2015 by Teach Junkie

Teaching writing skills can be done in lots of ways! Here are 6 in-depth tutorials for teaching “all about” writing. When it comes to teaching how to write, lots of practice and scaffolded lessons are a must!

Have you seen? The Teach Junkie writing section is growing in numbers of pictured tutorials with free lesson plans for how to teach writing so you can always search there if you’’re looking for something different. {wink}

6 In-Depth All About Writing Tutorials - Teach Junkie

1. All About Books Features – Using the acronym “CHALK” help students remember what types of details to include in their “all about” books.

2. All About Books Topics – How to work through a list of topics that young writers are experts on, expand their ideas and write thinking webs.

3. All About Format – A simple three-page book for kindergarten begins with a structured layout and understanding what facts are.

4. Teacher Example – Showing lots of examples of “all about” books can be helpful to strengthen writing skills. Here are some ideas for getting a jumpstart and a printable mini-book template.

5. Teaching Structure of All About Books – Define information books, create a list of what students know a lot about and using mentor texts to really dig into this style of “all bout” book writing.

6. Informational All About Books – A printable template including a diagram page for young writers to create a finalized “all about” book and a way to incorporate research for these books as homework.
