Not just the facts

Kids in upper grades would do well to use this as a model for their reports. Spare facts are linked together by wonderful rtwork that convinces the reader that THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW. While there is no real schema to the text, it ends with a feeling of love for the ocean, gratitude for its gifts. Read this to your older students before you turn them loose to write science reports and see if it doesn't improve their writing and organization of information!
