Writing: CCSSW.3.2 EXPLANATORY (CPS Framework Assessment Specification)

Write informative/explanatory/informational texts to examine a Topic and BIG Question: convey ideas and information clearly.

• Introduce a Topic and BIG Question: group related information together; include illustrations when useful to aiding comprehension.

• Develop the topic with facts, definitions, and details.

• Use linking words and phrases (e.g., also, another, and, more, but) to connect ideas within categories of information.

• Provide a concluding statement or section.

Explanatory writing aligns with reading standard 7—integrate from different sources; and writing standard 7—research to understand a topic.
