Units of Study in Opinion, Information, and Narrative Writing, Grade 3 (The Units of Study in Opinion, Information, and Narrative Writing Series)

By third grade, many students are writing on full-sized notebook paper, allowing them to write longer and more fully. The first unit extends personal narrative writing, with a growing emphasis on drafting and revising. Unit 2 helps students synthesize and organize information for chapter books. In Unit 3, kids write persuasive pieces about meaningful causes. Children explore fiction-writing techniques by studying fairy tales in the final unit.
