Fiction and Non-Fiction



This is a bulletin board that is in the works. As we progress through our study of non fiction texts, we are are noticing elements of the informational text that we don't typically find in fictional works. So to emphasize our learning we have started a t-chart for comparing the two types of literature. We have looked at mentor texts and are creating a text feature guide to keep as a reference to explain how those features help us to read and write informational pieces. Our study is focused around our social studies unit on Asia. The kids are researching and reading complex text about Asian animals so they can complete their own piece of non-fiction writing. I can't wait to see their finished product. I have never had a group so interested in this project as they are this year!
