Paul Fleischman is an American writer of children's books. For his contribution as a children's writer he was one of five finalists for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2012. He and his father Sid Fleischman have both won the Newbery Medal from the American Library Association recognizing the year's "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children."

David Frampton has been an illustrator for nearly 30 years and has been especially attracted to doing illustrations for children's books. His method of illustration is always color woodcut – simple, in his self imposed limit of four colors, but complex in the planning and execution of the narrative images.

Essay of the Month

• For the past couple of weeks you have been learning about expository nonfiction text through the eyes of an author.

• Over the next few weeks you will be researching and writing your own expository nonfiction text, your essay of the month.

Compare and Contrast

• You are writing a compare and contrast essay about two animals living in the same environment.

• What are your two animals?

Pre-research

• Before you go to the computer to do research, you need to have a plan.

• What questions are you hoping to answer during your research today?

Questions

• Today in your writing time you are to come up with three questions that you would like answered for each of your topics. – Examples:• Black bears and Raccoons

– Habitat» Where do black bears and raccoons live? » Do they hibernate?» Do the live in colonies or alone? » How long do the mothers stay with their babies?

Writing Time

• For the next 20 minutes I want you to come up with questions for each of your topics. Tomorrow we will begin researching, but remember we need to know what we are researching before we sit down at the computer or go to the library to look for a book.

Partner Share

• For the next 6 minutes I want you to talk with your partner about your questions that you came up with.

• Discuss you topic, and then the questions. • Partners, make sure that their questions

relate to their topics. If you have ideas for other questions, then tell them. They may have not even thought of your idea.

Research at Activity

• Today we are beginning our research. • Pick 1 topic to research today.• Review the questions that you came up with. • Those are the questions that you are going to

research, or try to find the answers for, today.

Trustworthy Websites

• Just like you can’t trust everything you hear, you equally can’t trust everything on the internet!

Websites that end in .edu, .gov, and .org or more trustworthy than .com sites. You will not always be able to find these. However, if you are reading two conflicting pieces, then trust the one with the .org, .gov, or .edu before the .com site.

Reflect

• So far this week we have completed pre-writing and pre-research activities. – Can you see how this will help you write a better

essay.
