The Writing and Reading Workshops' informational unit gives fourth grader students the opportunity to improve skills around researching, note-taking and summarizing and synthesizing nonfiction text.

Students in all three fourth grade homerooms spent weeks researching Black American inventors and makers, authors and artists, athletes and activists. Shining a light on Black achievement was an important aspect of the students’ work. Culminating projects include a research-focused paragraph, a poster, and a Google slide deck to present to their peers.
