Grade 6: Module 1: Unit 2: Lesson 11
Turn and Talk:
“Why might the shade of green in the conclusion be slightly di erent from the shade of green for the focus statement? Think back to your experience painting the essay in Lesson 6.” (When we mixed yellow and blue paints they made a new shade of green. This shows that when we run the ideas in the yellow paragraph and the ideas in the blue paragraph through our own minds, they come together to make something new—our own thinking on the topic, but still connected back to the focus statement.)
Invite students to help record the parts of a conclusion paragraph on the Criteria for an E ective Informative Essay anchor chart. Refer to the Criteria for an E ective Informative Essay anchor chart (example for teacher reference) as necessary.
Remind students that as they plan the conclusion, they should restate the focus statement and provide a reflection.
Invite students to retrieve the following materials:
– Informative Writing checklist
– Informative/Explanatory Writing Plan graphic organizer
Draw students’ attention to the Work to Become E ective Learners anchor chart. Remind them of the habit of perseverance.
Circulate to support students as they work and to identify common issues to use as whole group teaching points.
Repeated routine: Invite students to reflect on their progress toward the relevant learning targets.
