As teachers, we want to develop a culture of well-informed knowledge before children commit to putting pen to paper.
This resource is all about researching the facts behind climate change or any of their own topics that the children are focusing on.
This resource will allow children to generate compelling questions that will lead to interesting answers which then require the students to gather research and statistics from several sources.
These well-researched facts will allow our students to compose an article that a newspaper or news outlet may wish to pick up and run.If the article is good enough, persuasive enough, and includes the details behind the story, then the reward will be that a newspaper or news outlet will pick up the story and run with it.
