    Non-fiction vs fiction

    I am teaching a non-fiction unit in my class right now. Here is what I want the kids to understand.

    1. readers read nonfiction differently from fiction.
    2. Text features and how they help readers (especially to read the captions under pics and pay attention to words in bold)
    3. differences between biographies and autobiographies
    4. How to apply what you learn in an informational book.


    We also complete timelines when we read biographies, do a KWL before we start a new book and sometimes I have the kids do a 5 minute presentation about the information they learn. I hope this helps.
