Often students struggle with comprehending nonfiction text and read it like they would fiction. In this lesson, Ms. McLaughlin, our Instructional Partner extraordinaire, turned Ms. Cimino's third graders into first class sleuths by helping them recognize nonfiction by its features. Just like a detective who looks at clues to solve a mystery, Ms. McLaughlin explained strategies to help students attack text for understanding, making the process a whole lot less mysterious! Super sleuths take good notes, so students were encouraged to explore all kinds of nonfiction text and record their findings with a variety of apps like Draw Free, Skitch, Popplet, Notability, and Keynote. Using Chirp, the students received a picture of the "Noticing" chart for their notes. On their own, students took pictures of the text and used various apps to draw notes on their pictures, add their own thoughts, and even record their findings using the audio feature on Notability. Got a serious case of the non-fiction blues? We've got the gumshoes for you!
