Today we will teach you about nonfiction text features, and then we will tell you about the nonfiction sharing boards that are class did. First mission: teach you about some nonfiction text features. These features are different things you will find in nonfiction books. One feature is photographs. Photographs are real pictures and can be of lions, pandas, walruses or anything that the book is about! Another type of feature is table of contents. The table of contents will tell me what chapter is about what and on which page the chapter begins. For example, I have a book about butterflies that I am reading. If I wanted to learn about the adult butterfly I would turn to chapter 4. Now we will tell you about the nonfiction sharing boards.
We read a nonfiction book and show what we learned from the book on a sharing board. The books we used are The Titanic: Lost and Found, Money in the USA, The Hard Stuff! All About Bones, National Parks, The Olympics Past and Present, and Dogs at Work. On our sharing boards, we must show a couple of things: title and author, the main idea of the book, an example of a chart or graph, some vocabulary words, an amazing fact, a connection, how we find more information about our topic, and examples of text features found in the book. It was a lot of work, but we did it.
Have you ever made a nonfiction sharing board? Do you know any other kinds of nonfiction text features?
