To become familiar with another non-fiction genre I read a biography about Walt Disney and we collected facts while reading. We talked about non-fiction features such as the table of contents, headings, and captions and how they help us a readers navigate through a non-fiction text. We worked together to identify key details of Walt Disney's life that we should know. Students then worked with a partner or two to read another Walt Disney biography online using our PebbleGo.com resource and they wrote down more facts. Today I introduced to the students the Keynote app (similar to PowerPoint) and they are working with their partners to create a presentation biography about Walt Disney.
