Point out the features of non-fiction text explicitly. Show the graphs/maps, table of contents, glossaries.

In order for a student to understand the meaning of a text they need to know how to find key concepts and vocabulary. As teachers, we can assist all of our students and especially ELs by teaching them how to highlight or work with a nonfiction text. For example we can give them a short text in a clear sleeve that they can practice highlighting key concepts on. ]]> 2020-04-15 15:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rbegoun/p4ellav245qotqb0/wish/508724269 ivramirez https://padlet.com/rbegoun/p4ellav245qotqb0/wish/509374609 Explain to ELLs and all students why and how you would use text features. This can support them in being able to efficiently find the main idea. Have students practice deciding when they would use a specific features depending on a suggested scenario.
