We are working on a nonfiction reading unit through the middle of January. Students are encouraged to visit the public library and take out nonfiction books of interest. Some suggestions are:
Biographies/Autobiographies (famous people including actors/actresses, sports figures, historical figures, etc.)
Science (animals, space, etc.)
History

We will begin to write nonfiction this month into January as well. Students will conduct research, analyze facts and opinions, and write informational reports and how-to-guides.
