An informational writing prompt for 3rd graders: students teach the reader about a food that is popular in Texas, such as breakfast tacos, barbecue, kolaches, or tamales. The planner helps them write a topic sentence, group facts into a few main ideas with details, and finish with a closing sentence, using facts instead of opinions in the body of the piece.
