      This unit takes children on a writing journey that builds in sophistication. It begins with instruction on how to make a basic type of information book—and ends with children creating multiple information chapter books, filled with elaboration, interesting text elements, and pictures that supplement the teaching of the words. The unit closes with lessons on craft and thoughtful punctuation, which will add a flourish to the powerful writing first graders are now doing in their information books. All this work culminates into a sharing celebration, where authors and audience teach and learn from one another.
