Students assemble their key fact, evidence sentence, and concluding statement into a coherent, illustrated informational poster.

Students conclude their informational piece by writing a third sentence that summarizes their topic using a "Now you know about..." sentence starter and visual symbols.

Students locate visual evidence or supporting clues (such as food or habitat icons) to back up their first key fact, writing a second sentence using "It has..." or "It lives..." frames.

Students choose an informational topic (such as an animal or a local community job) and identify their first key fact using a visual matching organizer and "This is a..." sentence frame.
