Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using the Language Experience Approach (LEA), create an informational text on Water. Learners observe the conversational poster on Sources of Water and with leading questions, have them dictate simple sentences to you orally and write the story for them on a big sheet and use that as a reading text throughout the week in addition to the Thirsty Crow.
E.g. Good Water is clear and colourless. Animals drink water to live. Plants need water to grow.
