"It's Monday...What Are You Reading?"

Today we started our non-fiction genre study!  Our unit, Navigating Non-Fiction, will focus on reading strategies that are specific to the non-fiction genre, including determining the main idea & supporting details, making predictions, and asking questions.  Students will begin with a study of Antarctica.  Do you know the differences between the Arctic and Antarctica?  Check out this article!  As a class, we will compare and contrast how authors write about the same topic by reading a variety of texts on Antarctica and penguins.  Check out the penguins of Antarctica forming a huddle to keep warm in the frigid temperatures and whipping winds of Antarctica!
