Lesson Introduction: The World of Informative Writing

Hook: "The Curious Case of the Missing Information"

Start the lesson by presenting a mysterious situation to the students. Dim the lights slightly and say:

"Imagine you are in a world where all information about everyday things has vanished! There are no how-to guides, no textbooks, and no online searches. You wake up one morning to find that people are confused about how to cook, fix a flat tire, or even identify their pets' needs. What do you think would happen?

Let’s take a moment to think about this scenario. How would life change without the ability to share or access information? Take a minute to discuss this with your partner."

Group Discussion

After allowing students a brief moment to discuss, bring the class back together. Ask a few volunteers to share their thoughts about the impact of missing information. You might hear:

• "People would struggle to solve problems."
• "It would be hard to learn new things."
• "Everyone would feel lost!"

Transition to Topic: The Importance of Informative Writing

Once the discussion has wrapped up, explain:

"This is where informative writing steps in! Informative writing helps us share facts, teach others, and clarify how to do things. Whether it's a science report, a recipe, or a manual for assembling furniture, informative writing empowers others by filling the gaps left when information is missing."

Objective

Conclude the introduction by stating the day's objective:

"Today, we will explore the key elements of informative writing and learn how to craft our very own informative articles that can provide essential knowledge to someone who needs it!"
