Investigating Facts: Developing Skills for Expository Writing
presents major concepts through interactive, multi-sensory exercises. The series implements various aspects of STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) as it explores how humans communicate using written words.
STREAM learning means that Investigating Facts engages students in various activities and experiments, along with real-world experiences, to help them apply their knowledge and skills in dynamic ways. This approach gives a holistic view of how students will interact with writing in context. Both critical and creative thinking are developed using this programme, something that will serve students well into their future.
Each lesson includes several components which work together to inspire positive attitudes toward report writing while providing both technical and practical skills training.
- Notes & Explanations – briefly outlines the skill being explored in the lesson, including examples and guidelines.
- Let’s Do Something – takes students on a tangible journey into a scientific experiment, engineering build, or creative expression which gives them something physical to connect with their abstract ideas.
- Worksheet – is an opportunity to review learned concepts and demonstrate proficiency.
- Reflections – ensures that students pause to think about what they’re learning and how they will apply their new knowledge.
