First, I had the kids sit in a circle with their 5 non-fiction books and asked them to find examples of labels, keep the book open to that page, and make a pile in front of them. I gave them a set amount of time, telling them not to worry if they couldn't find a label in every book, as long as they had 2 examples. Then, we went around the circle (I went first, like a good modeler!) and showed the examples of our labels. We discovered together some interesting things: -labels are different than captions (labels tell you what something is and a caption gives you more information) -labels can be found on cutaways and maps too! -some labels are main labels and others are minor labels. For example: you have a picture of a pig and the main label says, "pig" and the minor labels show the parts of the pig. There are different types of print to show the difference. I then showed the kids what to do: -Add Labels p. 3 to the Contents page -Write "Labels" (use good text features) at the top and write how labels help you. -Sketch and color -Write the labels (neatly and correctly) with lines pointing -Add a source (title, author, page number) to the bottom of page The books look excellent so far. Please take a look at the comments page as I will be adding some photos.
