READING NEWS:
This week we will be starting
Unit 2 of Reader’s Workshop, Navigating Non-fiction. Before we fully jump into
the non-fiction unit we will be reviewing text features commonly found in
non-fiction text. We will become familiar with book summaries, the table of
contents, captions and photographs, fun facts and finally, the glossary.
We will review a number of
‘Mentor Texts’ as a class while finding examples of these non-fiction text
features while we are reading independently and with our reading partner.
WRITING NEWS:
While writing our personal
narratives we will focus on the qualities of good writing: focus, detail, and
structure. We will also learn what the writer’s job is in a conference with the
teacher.
