Expository writing helps students process, analyze, and communicate complex information, aligning with the inquiry strand of the North Carolina Social Studies standards. This session presents a 7-10 day scaffolded unit plan that builds expository writing skills through evidence-based analysis and structured expression. With tools like brainstorming activities, outlines, and differentiated supports, students gain confidence while learning to evaluate and present information effectively. Participants will receive ready-to-use materials and practical strategies to promote inquiry-driven writing in their classrooms.
