match the theme – one fact per page.
Library:
Pairing informational text
with historical fiction – compare and contrast
Grade 5:
· Science: Student chooses topic of interest.
o Experiment
o Inquiry
o Find informational text to meet individual needs of
students
o More experiment at a higher order
o Higher order texts
· Social Studies: Read and find important facts
o Write summaries
How can we use more information texts?
6-12
☐ Spend more time at the beginning of the year
front-loading how to read/dissect informational texts…pay off for the
rest of the year.
☐ Find short informational texts or excerpts to go with
units.
☐ Pick and choose chapters from the text or any text to
introduce as non-fiction before producing work BUT NOT read the whole text and
not necessarily in order.
☐ More synthesizing/summarizing in own words…so students
really own the concepts.
☐ Visual literacy è move from
direction following and relying on a reference to producing own work to
demonstrate ownership of concepts.
☐ Listening (audio components) and viewing in concert
with reading informational text.
K-5

consistently in the classroom.

· Use timely topics and seasonal topics to incorporate
non-fiction.

independently.

texts.

· Use a.m. wheel time to read non-fiction
