Explanation frames teach students to focus on important information in their writing. (PDF. Download).
Purpose: to teach students the three parts of the paragraph
- introduction – body – conclusion
Why and How would I use it?
I would use this strategy when teaching students the organizational pattern required for a certain type of writing. It helps them learn to develop the body of the paragraph through further generalization and details.
I would have them write a sentences that begins with a transition and names . Students will have a list at the bottom of the link sheet fro suggested transitions.
