Adding Illustrations
Wednesday April 1st 2:40 pm
15 minutes
We will once again look at our informational text, this time
focusing on the illustrations. We will discuss reasons why
an author may include an illustration and what we notice
about the illustrations that are included. We will then come
up with some examples of things we may want to illustrate
in our own texts.
Students have not included illustrations with their
informational text in the past. This is an additional piece
which meets a new goal of the common core. Students will
not illustrate until they have completed all of the writing in
their books. The ultimate goal is that each of them will
have at least one detailed, relevant illustration in their
book, although many will probably have more.

Answers:
-Purpose of illustrations is to
help the reader understand
the text better, make the
text even more interesting,
provide additional
information
-Illustrations should RELATE
to the accompanying text
and have a purpose
-We can illustrate a magnet
pulling a magnetic object
closer, but having no effect
on a nonmagnetic object,
etc.

Reflection on Planning
Learning goal for self:
This lesson is all about having fun but polishing our writing and
making it pop with useful illustrations. I want students to feel
this sense of fun, while still maintaining a sense of
responsibility for making their work "publish ready." It will be
all about balancing excitement with a seriousness for making
the illustrations high quality.
I will review the questions I would like to ask and search our
informational anchor text for good illustrations to help me
demonstrate how we can best use illustrations.

these likely responses to focus students on the intended content.
Making the
content

all students
Describe how you will help ALL students engage productively in the
lesson. This includes identifying assumptions made during the lesson
about students prior experiences, knowledge, and capabilities; making
the representations, explanations, and/or vocabulary accessible and
meaningful to all students; and making connections to students
personal, cultural, and social experiences during the lesson, if

(In creating your handouts, be sure you think carefully about the specific

any responses. For example, is there enough room for children's large
writing? Are the page breaks in the right spots? Are the instructions clear

Considerations
Description
State at least one learning goal that you have for yourself, with regard to your teaching. In other
words, what are you working on to improve your teaching practice? If someone will be observing
your lesson, also think about what aspect of your teaching you would like the observer to focus
on. This may or may not be the same thing as the learning goals you have for yourself.
Describe the things you did in preparation to teach this lesson. For example: practiced the
activity with the actual materials, answered the worksheet questions myself, thought through
timing, researched materials, etc.

Although the word lesson is used throughout the document, these considerations can also be
applied to smaller tasks, larger units as well as other types of resources.
Content throughout the document refers to concepts, procedures, ideas, and facts, as well as
disciplinary practices (such as making predictions in science or constructing mathematical
arguments in mathematics).
