Does it Sink or Float?
Using the interactive writing procedure, students will write about vehicles that float.
Background Information for Teacher
The teacher and students gather in a central location to write a common text. The students and teacher brainstorm
possible sentences. After the sentence has been chosen they work together to construct the text. The students write
either a letter or the entire word. The class can write on their own board/paper or observe each other. When the text is
finished the class reads it aloud.
Student Prior Knowledge
● chart paper
● objects found around house to test floating and sinking capabilities
