Exploring Organizational Patterns in Nonfiction Writing

Miss White introduces the 2.4 mission, an organizational patterns project worth two summative grades. Students are guided to choose a specific topic they are familiar with, such as soccer or cats, and can work alone or with a partner. The project involves creating a cover, using notes and signal words, and includes examples like ukuleles. Students can add images and videos to their projects. The project consists of seven parts, with a rubric provided for grading. Miss White will create a separate video explaining the grading process.
