During our Literacy block, we have been working diligently on identifying the main idea and a few elements of texts (setting, characters, problem/solution in fictional books). Today we compared and contrasted fiction and non-fiction books. We discussed several of the text features that we found in the non-fictional books that we looked at with our 'elbow partners'. The non-fiction books often had: fact boxes, photographs, labelled diagrams or photographs, headings with bold font, and glossaries, table of contents, and indexes.
We will be starting to write our own DESCRIPTIVE REPORTS about sea turtles. Today we wrote what we think we know about sea turtles and then read some facts about them to see if we were right. We confirmed some information and discovered some new facts. We have more investigation to do!
Welcome to my Grade One/Two Classroom! This blog is intended to be used by my students and parents of my students to find out more information about my program. I hope that you will frequently visit our classroom blog to check out links and to see what we have been up in our classroom.
