I am so glad I found this bundle! After teaching informational writing, I put these resources in my writing center as an optional writing activity during station rotations. I love that the resources can be changed out with the seasons because it keeps the students engaged and wanting to continue developing their informational writing skills throughout the year.

My students loved using this resource. It was great to have working QR codes for them to use for research. I had them do it at their seats to teach them how to complete the lesson with your graphic organizer and now am displaying it on a board for them to do at centers on their own.
