Hello Authors!
Your challenge for today is to write the section of your informational text that deals with the southern colonies. Use your writer's checklist, and all of the lessons and discussions we've had about informational writing to guide you.
Your draft should include:
-name, number, and date
-word count
-at least one powerful sentence type
-at least two of the following vocabulary terms:
plantation, legislature, debtor, refuge, indigo, overseer, spiritual, tidewater, backcountry
In your notes, we did not include a section on slavery. Do you think this is an important aspect of the southern colonies? If so, what do you think is the best way to present the information to your readers?
When you finish, print one copy of your draft and turn it in to the Writing bin.
If there is still time, you may choose to write anything you like or work on writing for our Gillispie News project: Write a commercial or improve the writing of any piece you have already written. This is still writing time, not rehearsal time.
