Non-fiction & Close-ups (Writers Workshop)
The students looked at non-fiction books to see how authors and illustrators use illustrations to share information. The students noticed how a lot of information can be found by “reading” the photos found within nonfiction texts. They noticed the labels, close-ups of pictures and different ways information may be displayed.
The students then used magnifying glasses to observe plants around them. They used paper to record their observations.
Ms. @jacqui5p modelled how to write what we observe using describing words.
