Beyond Writing Reports
There has been a recent push for more informational reading and writing across the grades. This can mean more than just writing 5 paragraph essays (and you reading a whole set). This session will look at research and possible technology products across the elementary school grades K-5. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use ideas for implementing research and informational presentations at their grade level. Ideal for classroom teachers, media specialists, and technology teachers.
