Learning how to write informational text is probably one of the most important life skills you can learn. You will need to know how to write this way for high school, to get your first job, to get into college, and to promote your business or yourself once you start your career. Here is an informational text similar to the one that you will be writing for us in Module 2. Let’s look at the text features of this text. Notice where the INTRODUCTION, BODY PARAGRAPHS, CONCLUSION, & THESIS STATEMENT go. The INTRODUCTION contains the THESIS STATEMENT (author’s idea about a topic that can be supported with valid evidence such as facts, expert testimony, research, and valid texts). This statement lets your reader know what the entire paper is going to be about. As a reader of an informational text, you can look for the author’s thesis statement in the introduction and decide if you want to continue reading the text or not. Remember that as a writer as well. You’ll want to make your thesis statement powerful and clear so that your readers will want to read the rest of your paper and not stop at the introduction. Writers restate the thesis statement in the CONCLUSION to wrap up their essay and remind their readers of their main point. You will be doing this in your Module 2 essay as well. The BODY PARAGRAPHS contain all the supporting details that you will gather to back up your points. In this essay, you will be gathering supporting details from valid, reliable research. Good Luck on your 2.03 Quiz!
