In this episode:

You will walk away with clear steps for how to launch and teach your nonfiction reading unit.

I talk about:

I talk about the what, the why and the how of teaching your next nonfiction reading unit.

1.The What- It’s Broken into two camps:Expository and Narrative Nonfiction

2. The Why-  Teaching students how to think about new information and what they think about it is critically important.

3. The How- I give you 4 main teaching points to zone in on in your next nonfiction reading unit.

Quotables:

  • As an educator and as an adult you and I both know that you are never done learning, this means that learning how to navigate non fiction is a lifelong skill.
  • In addition, learning how to navigate nonfiction will also teach students how to take in new information and decide how to think about it and what they think about it.
  • Because nonfiction text may include bias therefore,  students will need to be taught how to identify the author's purpose in order to help them discern this.
