First
grade will be exploring nonfiction in read-aloud for the month of
November. The purpose of this unit is
for students to read nonfiction texts across many topics and to learn how
to accumulate information.
GOALS:
·
Students will use comprehension skills in order
to accumulate information and retell a non fiction text.
·
Students will use non-fiction features in order
to accumulate information from a text.
In order to meet these
goals, here are some of lessons we will be focusing on:
2. Choosing "Just
Right" Non-Fiction Books.
3. Previewing Non-Fiction
Books to get an idea of what specifically they might be learning about the
subject.
4. Reading in small chunks
or one paragraph at a time, to monitor for meaning. Then stopping to
name the important thing that the author taught in that chunk or
paragraph.
6. Using Clues on the Page
to Figure Out Tricky Words.
7. Synthesizing - putting
together everything they are learning on a page by using all of the non-fiction
features (headings, photographs, and captions. diagram and labels)
