Writers think about all the things we’ve done so far with our informational writing about explorers: *Used a map as a resource *Listed geographical features that explorers encountered *Used a scale of a world map so that you could see the number of miles traveled Informational Writing Session 5- Writing to Think

We need to continue thinking about this information. Today I want to teach you that when you are researching something, you need to not just move facts from someone else’s book to your page. You need to work to come up with your own ideas. And one of the best ways to do this is to ask questions, Maybe it’s because… I think it is because… I wonder if perhaps…

Historians care about the facts because those facts give them ideas about how things were back then. And those ideas aren’t on a map-only the facts are on a map. So you need to collect geographical facts, and treat them like clues that can help you solve the mystery of what life was like back then. You have to figure out-speculate, or guess-how the facts about the place shaped the way people lived back then.

We have mapped out the routes of some early explorers.

Phrases for Writing to Think “This makes me think…” “Probably they…” “I’m realizing…” “It must have been…” “This might be important because…” “For example…” “I wonder if…” “Probably after a while…” “Could it be that…”

Information Writers Think about the topic-and parts of the topic –to write about. Plan how the writing might go. Research, taking notes. Draft Revise with various lenses: growing ideas, looking for patterns, and asking questions, thinking about how geography of a place impacted how the events unfolded, thinking and speculating.

Link: Today go back over the writing you have been doing, and notice whether your writing is ‘just the facts.’ If so, see if you can push yourself to row ideas. Can you add to your thinking? “This makes me think…” “Probably they…” “I’m realizing…” “It must have been…” “This might be important because…” “For example…” “I wonder if…” “Probably after a while…” “Could it be that…” ** A few more things to consider: What are the surprising parts about this?, So what?, How does this connect with other things I know?
