TEACHER's Commentary: These pieces have met the first grade standard for report writing.

These samples include a catchy introduction sentence to engage the reader and introduce the topic.
Corey- “Art, Art, Art went the seals.”
Lakishma- “roar’, said the polar bear”

These samples include many concrete details and an impressive number of facts. While the reader sees some repetition, the reports clearly identify defined categories (food, habitat, body, and babies). Though some facts are repeated the writers demonstrate a growing ability to communicate with readers by using details to develop their points;

Lakishma- “they live someplace that is cold. We are not in the cold. Do you like the cold?”
Corey- “If a little seal gets in a big seal’s way, the big seal eats the little seal.”

In each report, you will find the information is appropriate to the topic and all extraneous information extracted. Each piece includes a diagram of their chosen animal to further educate the reader.

 All  pieces include a strong sense of closure or signing off.
Lakishma- I hope you learned all about what a polar bear does…
Corey- “I hope you enjoyed my story. I have learned a lot. Did you learn a lot to?”

 A next step for these writers would be to incorporate subheadings such as chapter subheadings seen in books.
