To get ready for our nonfiction writing unit I read my students lots of nonfiction books. They selected topics that they wanted to research and we found books for them to read. We read nonfiction books with labeled pictures, interesting fonts and fun facts and gave these nonfiction writing crafts a try ourselves. Stay tuned as my nonfiction experts start to write their own books. Watch out Gail Gibbons...Room 131 loves to write nonfiction!!

Thank you! I did something similar to this a few years ago but it wasn't nearly as organized :) I love the "I can" statements.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI also love the "I can" element of this activity. I am going to put this out as packets and one of the options for writing workshop.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I am wondering how you managed the writing? Did you write out the children's dictations and then they copied? Or did they copy from books?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Love this! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the one that says" Pigs don't sweat". It made me smile. Thanks for the giggle. Glad the musical was a grand success.
