For the past two months our students have worked hard to become experts on topics relating to the Great Depression that tie into our whole class novel, Bud, Not Buddy. They researched their topics online and wrote informational pieces to share their knowledge. Despite the many struggles that the students and I have experienced along the way with this project, I could not be more proud of them and the work that they have accomplished. I wanted to keep publishing options open to invite students’ creativity into the process and I am so pleased with the results! Students were able to publish their written work as an essay, with an accompanying picture and caption, or to split their work into sections in the style of an informational page that might be found in a non-fiction text. Here are a few examples of the fabulous student work that will be debuted during tomorrow’s publishing party!
Sarah is an expert on Jazz musicians during the Great Depression!
Eric is an expert on the struggles that African American teenagers faced during the 1930s!
Tatyana (who is Sarah’s best friend) is also an expert on Jazz musicians during the Great Depression 🙂
Tomorrow we will be hosting a publishing party so that students can learn from one another’s work. I am beyond excited to see my first informational writing unit come to a close!
