Nonfiction Unit

This week we are starting a unit on nonfiction and research.  To get things started we created a circle map as a class containing the different things we knew about nonfiction texts. After we had exhausted all our knowledge, we read a nonfiction book called From Egg to Chicken. I told the class to pay close attention to any nonfiction text features they might notice as I read. After reading, we used a red marker to add some of our knew thinking about nonfiction texts. As you can see, our book gave us a lot of new information. We plan to read another nonfiction book tomorrow and hopefully can add even more new learning to our circle map.
