We have done a lot of reading and writing non-fiction throughout this year as a class. Now is the time for them to start diving into it based on their interests. Over the last few days partners and small groups have naturally formed based on their shared interests. We have groups studying Giant Pandas, Badgers, Toads, Coral and more! They worked together to read the information from books and have it read to them online (PebbleGo has been the best resource for this). We identified some essential questions readers would have when trying to learn about animals to help guide their research. Next students will start the process of taking their information and crafting it into a non-fiction text.
