Nonfiction readers preview Nonfiction texts by identifying the parts and thinking about how it might go. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841409 Session 2 (Tuesday, Oct. 27) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841411 Teaching Point: 
Nonfiction readers look for structure within a text by pausing along the way to summarize important information. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841411 Session 3 (Wed, Oct. 28) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841412 Teaching Point: 
Nonfiction readers grasp main ideas by organizing information into categories as they read. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841412 Session 4 (Thursday, Oct 29) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841414 Teaching Point: 
Today I  want to teach you that when readers read nonfiction texts, they can become experts and they can teach others what they know. To teach someone, a reader needs to know the main ideas and the supporting details. It helps to use an explaining voice and gestures to use a teaching finger to point out illustrations. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841414 Session 5 (Friday, Oct. 30) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841416 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to teach you that when readers read expository nonfiction and come up with what they think is the main idea of the passage, or part of the passage, they write (or think) that idea in pencil, expecting it will be revised as they continue to read. The main idea is often revised by becoming either more specific or more general.]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841416 Session 6 (Monday, Nov. 2) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841419 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to remind you that when you are working to get better with a skill, it helps to take stock of your progress periodically and to set new goals for yourself. Becoming more skilled as a reader requires that you have very clear goals and plans for reaching those goals. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841419 Session 7 (Tuesday, Nov. 3) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841424 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to teach you that to a very large extent, the difference between a boring text and a fascinating text is not the text itself; it is the person reading it. To be a fabulous Nonfiction reader, you need to be the kind of person who finds the world to be a fascinating place. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841424 Session 8 (Wed, Nov. 4) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841428 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to teach you that readers read differently knowing they're going to be in conversations later. They read, holding conversations in their minds. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841428 Session 9 (Thursday, Nov. 5) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841435 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to teach you that when reading informational texts, skilled readers talk back to the author's ideas about a topic just like they might talk back to a character's ideas about something, or to a parent's ideas about something. Sometimes a reader says, "I  see what you are saying, but I  see things differently" ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841435 Session 10 (Friday, Nov. 6) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841437 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to teach you that learning to talk really well about texts has a lot to do with learning how to think about texts. In the end, what readers really do when they think about their text is they have a conversation in their own mind.]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841437 Session 11 (Monday, Nov. 9) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841439 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to teach you that just as anglers use different hooks for different fish, readers use different ways of reading depending on if a nonfiction text is an expository text or a story. Readers of nonfiction stories use their knowledge of how stories go to organize their understanding of the text.]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841439 Session 12 (Tuesday, Nov. 10) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841443 Teaching Point: 
Readers read a true story about a person or an event in history, they usually know from the start why the person or event is famous. They know LeBron James is famous for basketball. They know the end of the story. This clues readers into the details that will turn out to be important because they relate to the climactic ending. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841443 Session 13 (Thurs, Nov. 12) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841445 Teaching Point: 
Readers, today I  want to teach you that Nonfiction readers keep a careful balance. They don't stop in their tracks every time they come across a hard word, but they do stop to figure out tricky parts when they begin to get confused or lose meaning.  ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841445 Session 14 (Friday, Nov. 13) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841446 Teaching Point: 
Readers of narrative nonfiction read through different lenses. One of those lenses, of course, is the lens of story. Narrative nonfiction is still nonfiction, which means it is meant to teach. So another lens through which readers of narrative nonfiction view texts is the lens of reading-to-learn information. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841446 Session 15 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841449 Teaching Point: 
Today I  want to teach you that in narrative nonfiction, sometimes the author doesn't come right out and tell you the main idea. But for it to be a well-written story, there is a main idea, or you could say, a reason to tell the story. Sometimes it helps to ask, "What did the main subject learn?" ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841449 Session 16 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841452 Teaching Point:
Readers use strategies they've developed for reading biographies on any text that is narrative nonfiction. They read books about the life of a lobster, or about colonists coming to Plymouth, just as they read stories, thinking about the main characters trains, wants, and struggles.]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841452 Session 17 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841455 Teaching Point: 
Readers, when reading a hybrid text, readers always think to themselves, "What mind-work does this part of the text want me to do?" The parts that are narrative signal for readers to read them like stories, and the parts that are expository signal for readers to read, collecting main ideas and supporting details. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841455 Session 18 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841456 Teaching Point: 
Self-assessment is the way you become your own coach. Readers think about what they are doing well and how they can get stronger and then coach themselves to keep doing that work. ]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841456 Session 19 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841459 Teaching Point:
Readers celebrate the end of the unit by making a monument to their nonfiction life.]]> 2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841459 Session 1 (Monday, Oct. 26) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841460 Choose a Non-fiction book from the Virtual Class Library, Epic, or Myon.  DO NOT READ THE BOOK YET!

  • If you don't have paragraphs, try breaking up your writing into sections that are about the same topic/idea
  • Watch the video below if you need help breaking your writing into paragraphs and connecting them using transition words.
  • Also try connecting CHAPTERS by using TRANSITIONAL. WORDS.

  • Go to your Google Drive
  • Find your Information Writing Notebook 
  • Re-read your chapters.  
  • Find facts you have written, add some ideas (your thoughts or opinion).  Here is an example:

    • The smallest part of the brain is called the amygdala.  It is about the size of a walnut (these are all facts). 

    Even though it is small, it does a very important job (this is an idea because it's my opinion that it's important). 

    It helps us look at faces and know how people are feeling.  This part controls the emotions we feel (these are all facts).

    Without our amygdala, we would have a hard time being a good friend (this is an idea because its my opinion that we wouldn't be a good friend)!

    Information writers act as teachers. When you write an information book, you are teaching a unit of study on your topic, and it helps to rehearse by actually teaching real students, watching to see which information especially matters to them. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841517     Session 2 (Tuesday, Oct. 27) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841519 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers often make plans for how to organize their information writing. Writers make one plan, then they think about a different possible plan, and keep doing this over and over. Each plan includes a different way to divide a topic into parts. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841519     Session 3 (Wed, Oct. 28) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841520 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers try different organizational structures on for size. They explore a few different structures, noting how those structures affect the way they think about a topic. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841520     Session 4 (Thursday, Oct 29) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841521 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers notice that our unit is called information writing for a reason. It is made up of entirely Information. You write information books by taking those chunks of information , your bricks, and then you lay those pieces of information alongside each other. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841521     Session 5 (Friday, Oct. 30) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841522 Teaching Point: 
    informational writers use everything they’ve learned about organizing a table of contents, applying it to the work of organizing any chapter or any information text they write. Whenever you write an informational text, start by making a miniature table of contents – even if it’s in your mind. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841522     Session 6 (Monday, Nov. 2) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841524 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers revise, they often considers ways they can add more, or elaborate. Information writers can learn to elaborate by studying mentor texts, taking note of all the different kinds of information that writers use to teach readers about subtopics. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841524     Session 7 (Tuesday, Nov. 3) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841525 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers learn that writing chapters is like making paper chains. Writers know that each chapter needs to connect to the chapter before it. Actually, each paragraph connects to the one before it as well. First, the order needs to make sense. And second, the author uses transitional words like because, and also to glue parts of the text together.]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841525     Session 8 (Wednesday, Nov. 4) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841527 Teaching Point: 
    When information writers write information books, you try to interest your reader. Readers love fascinating facts, and they love ideas, too. Writers make sure they contains both facts and ideas.]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841527     Session 9 (Thursday, Nov. 5) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841529 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers don’t just write, write, write all the stuff from their brains. Real writers are research. Writers often leave the page in search of the perfect fact or perfect example ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841529     Session 10 (Friday, Nov. 6) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841530 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers, I’m noticing that when you learn something new about information writing,  you often go back to a chapter you wrote earlier and use tiny post-its or marginal notes to add that to your draft. That sort of work is not really revision. – that’s fixing up am almost perfect draft. To revise you need to have the courage to try a chapter over again or to write the first or last half again. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841530     Session 11 (Monday, Nov. 9) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841531 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers ask…”What do our mentor authors do when writing powerful introductions for information writing?”, Once we figure out the answer to that question we can ask, “How can we apply those strategies to our own introductions?”]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841531     Session 12 (Tuesday, Nov. 10) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841533 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers stop, before they are completely done with their pieces, to take stock. They re-read what they’ve done so far and think about guidelines, checklists, or mentor texts, asking, “What’s working already?” And “What do I still want to do to make this as strong as possible?” ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841533     Session 13 (Thurs, Nov. 12) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841534 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers know that eventually other people will read their writing, so writers prepare for that by re-reading their pieces very carefully, looking for places that are confusing or underdeveloped. Writers revise to make sure that the writing will reach their readers. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841534     Session 14 (Friday, Nov. 13) spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841537 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers think, “Will that text feature help readers?” and they only include one that will really help readers. They think what the text is mostly about, and that helps them decide what should be popped out or highlighted. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841537     Session 15 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841539 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers get close to the end of their projects, it is important that they check the major facts that they’ve included to make sure that they are as accurate as possible. (Revise as needed)]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841539     Session 16 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841541 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers edit with laser focus on one of the most important organizational structures: the paragraph. Writers look at the paragraph as the most powerful punctuation there is. Paragraphs separate not just words into sentences, but also whole groups of sentences into topics. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841541     Session 17 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841542 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers move onto other subject areas, writers don’t just leave their writing skills at the door. Writers carry those skills with them when they become scientists, anthropologists, and mathematicians. Specifically, writers make sure that they use what they know about planning well organized informational texts, whether they are writing a book in writing workshop or writing an article or a paper or a feature article in the social studies classroom. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841542     Session 18 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841543 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers assess their own writing to see what works and what doesn’t work. One way they do this is by thinking, “Did I do what I set out to do?” They reread to see whether the draft matches the plan for it – and if it doesn’t,       they decide whether the plan it does follows worked or whether the piece needs to be re-written. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841543     Session 19 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841545 Teaching Point: 
    Information writers can use their skills at structuring and elaborating, introducing and closing, to create all sorts of informational texts. ]]>     2020-12-04 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841545     Session 20 spinne https://padlet.com/spinne/fqzqu3lxn5m4zfc7/wish/987841546 Teaching Point:
