Lesson - 10-20 min
1. Begin the class by explaining that not only do we write informational text, but we also publish it. This means that we share it with other people.
2. Explain the different ways to publish a work. (Writing a book, reading in front of audience, video taping, and recording)
3. Explain that over the next two days, the class will be practicing reading their report with a friend and then recording it on a video to share with another kindergarten class.
4. These recording sessions will take place one on one with the teacher who is holding the iPad. Since this is the first time publishing this way, one on one with the teacher will make it go much faster. It will also give a chance for the teacher to give one on one feedback about the students speaking skills.
5. While students are recording with the teacher, the class will be practicing with a partner. Students will have to read their report to two different partners.

- A chart should be made before starting of what the listener should be looking for. (can you hear them, did they stumble on any words, did they show the picture, did they look up or only look at the paper, etc).
- The teacher and another student may also model some of the mistakes students will need to practice not doing while with a partner.
Student Activity – 20 - 30 min
1. In the coming lessons, students will be learning about the life cycle process as well as the different classifications of animals (mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, insects, amphibians). Set out informational text about these classifications of animals for the students to begin familiarizing themselves with. 2. Student will pick a topic they would like to explore maybe on their own and then write down 3 to 4 reasons why they would like to learn about this topic. Students will use I Want to Learn About Worksheet.
