Where Is Home?

Description:

The task requires students to independently write an informational piece on a community of their choice after reading and responding to informational texts about rural, suburban, and urban communities. Throughout the unit of study, students are supported in charting information from shared and independently read texts and are involved in guided and interactive practice on how to group ideas in writing. While students have read many of the texts with support in class, in Grade 2 the standards allow for “scaffolding as needed.”
