Informative Writing Introduction

At a kite festival, visitors want to learn how kites fly. Read the short passage, then explore how informative writing shares facts clearly. Use the skills to plan a fact-file paragraph of your own.

Read: How a Kite Stays in the Air

A kite needs wind to fly. Moving air interacts with the kite and helps it rise. The kite’s broad surface helps it catch the wind. A tail can help some kites stay steady, while a flying line lets the person holding it control the kite. Kite designs vary: some are flat and simple, while others have curved or box-shaped frames. On a windy day, a kite may rise high, but a person should fly it in an open area away from power lines and roads.

Spot the Purpose and Structure

Informative writing teaches readers about a topic using accurate facts, explanations, and a clear order. A useful structure is an introduction that names the topic, body sentences that explain key ideas, and a conclusion that wraps up the information.

1.What is the main purpose of informative writing?

To entertain readers with an invented story
To teach readers about a topic using information
To convince readers to agree with an opinion
To describe the writer’s favorite things

2.Which force can push a kite upward?

Kite designs vary.
As wind moves around the kite, it creates a force called lift that can push the kite upward.
A person should fly a kite in an open area.
A kite may rise high.

3.Which sentence is a personal opinion rather than an informative fact?

A flying line lets a person control a kite.
A kite’s broad surface helps it catch the wind.
Colorful diamond kites are the most beautiful kites.
Some kites have curved or box-shaped frames.

4.Why does the passage mention flying kites away from power lines and roads?

5.Mark each statement as a fact from the passage or an opinion. A. A tail can help some kites stay steady. B. Box-shaped kites are better than flat kites. C. The flying line helps a person control the kite.

6.Complete the sentence: Informative writing is organized so that readers can .

Plan Your Own Informative Paragraph

Imagine a festival visitor asks you about one part of kite flying. Choose a topic you can explain, such as kite parts, kite shapes, or safe flying. Use facts you know or can reasonably explain; do not invent statistics.

7.Write a focused topic sentence that tells what your paragraph will explain about kites.

8.List two relevant facts or explanations you could use to develop your topic sentence.

9.Put these parts of an informative paragraph in a sensible order: conclusion; body facts and explanations; introduction or topic sentence.

10.Write a concluding sentence for a paragraph explaining how a kite stays steady in the air. It should wrap up the information, not add an unrelated opinion.

11.Revise this unclear sentence to make its meaning more precise: “It helps it do that when it moves.” Explain what “it” or “that” refers to in your revision.
