Directions: You have already written a first draft of your informative text about your freaky frog, and you have started revising it. Finish revising your informative text draft using teacher and peer feedback. Then, publish a final draft that includes all of your revisions.
REMEMBER: A well-written, informative text:
• clearly states a focus and stays focused throughout the piece
• has an introduction that gives readers important information they need to understand the piece
• uses accurate and relevant facts, definitions, and details to support the focus
• clearly presents information that is easy to understand and engages the reader
• follows rules of writing (spelling, punctuation, and grammar)
• incorporates research from sources
• has a conclusion that restates the focus
• uses words that show you are knowledgeable about the topic
Now, begin work on revising your first draft and publishing your final draft. Manage your time carefully so that you can:
1. Reread your first draft.
2. Reread teacher feedback.
3. Revise your first draft to incorporate teacher feedback.
4. Highlight the changes you are making in yellow as you revise.
5. Write a final draft of your informative text including all of your revisions.
