Expanding Possibilities for the Use of Writing Genres in Early Elementary Science: Investigating First‐Graders’ Multimodal Sequential Explanations

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the outcomes of the implementation of a first grade unit incorporating multiple modes of representation and genre‐based pedagogy to support writing instruction in the genre of sequential explanations. At the end of a 6‐day unit investigating the structure and functions of carnivorous plants, 47 first graders completed a
