I have a collection of nonfiction books in my classroom. I start my nonfiction writing unit by helping everyone find books about topics they want to become "experts" about. If I do not have what they need in my classroom collection, we head to the library. Sometimes we pair up with older students to help us research and we check out nonfiction books from the library during the weeks of this writing unit.
I used Ladybug Teaching Files "printing on post-it notes" to make post-it notes to label interesting fonts, fun facts and labeled pictures in nonfiction books.
My students loved this activity!
we found labeled pictures in these books...
After we find these features in books, we practice writing them. Find out more about this activity HERE or click on the image below to download.
