Research All About Books

Students explored "All About books" to learn more about the type of writing we are moving into this week.  They looked through books and found features that we do not see in typical story books.  Students shared their finding with the class and you could feel the excitement in the air for this new writing opportunity.  

What did students notice?

• labels
• zoom in pictures
• titles on pages
• captions
• arrows to show how something works
• writing in lots of places on the pages (top, bottom, middle and not always the same page to page)
• diagrams
• table of contents

Stay tuned to see how these writers teach us the amazing things they know all about using some of these same features.
