When I started writing this expert book I had to think of what I was an expert at. I thought of basketball. After we chose a book topic we chose what the chapters would be. After that we had to think of subheadings. When we finished that we had to start finding information. I used books on Epic by K.C Kelly to help me find more research. After I found all the information I needed, I started drafting. I wrote all three chapters. Later, we started revising and editing. We added timelines, mini stories, and compare and contrast text structures. 

When I started to write an introduction. We had to think of all the chapters that I drafted. I learned that an introduction could have play on words, I could ask questions to build on curiosity. When I finished writing my introduction, I started typing my expert book on my Chromebook. Mr. Casal helped us through the journey to publish my book. I had to insert  pictures in my expert book. Then my teacher said, “We have to add text features.” 

I learned a lot from writing my expert book. I can write an introduction and I know a lot more basketball facts than I thought. I also am surprised how fast I can write on a Chromebook and how much I know about nonfiction now.

This is My Expert Book
