Last week, we read a variety of nonfiction books! Students learned about the nonfiction text structures that authors use to teach the reader information. We read a biography called Snowflake Bentley, which had a problem/solution text structure. We also read Waiting for Ice and discussed author’s purpose. We used the acronym PIE to remember each purpose (Persuade, Inform, Entertain). Students used evidence from the text to support their thinking. We also practiced various strategies to help us figure out unknown words in Animal Tongues (context clues, background knowledge, glossary, substitute a different word, use the photos/illustrations, etc.).
