Today students compared the text features of fiction and non-fiction books.
Together, we compared two big books: one was fiction and one was non-fiction. We compared the covers, then each page and filled in a Venn diagram indicating the similarities and differences of the text features.
We also watched this video about non-fiction text features: Afterwards, students were grouped into partners where they compared a fiction and non-fiction book.
Finally, students were able to explore a collection on Epic Books called Fiction Vs. Non-Fiction and we discussed which books they thought were fiction and what books they thought were non-fiction.
