My Project

Informational writing, and writing in general, may be a boring part for many of our young learners' educational path. Notwithstanding, through activities like that one I plan to engage my students with, may ease them into finding a bit of love towards writing. A big part of our informational unit related to technological advances and how they can help our environment and our planet. Thus, if our students engage creating these kind of technological advances before they get to write about them, it may increase their interest not only for writing, but also to take part on saving our planet.
