Our Solar System study was even integrated into our Writer's Workshop. Since we were reading so many non-fiction books to learn about the different parts of the Solar System, we wanted to use the knowledge we gained to create non-fiction books of our own.
We closely examined many non-fiction books and learned about the features of non-fiction text:
- Headings
- Labels
- Facts
- Photographs
- Diagrams
- Captions
- Bold Words
- Table of Contents
- Glossary
For about three weeks, we spent our Writer's Workshop time being the authors and illustrators of Solar System non-fiction books. Each day, we practiced integrating a feature of non-fiction text that we had learned about into our own books.
Once our non-fiction books were completed, we edited the books and added covers. We then had a wonderful time sharing our hard work with our friends!
The non-fiction books were a great way to assess just how much we have learned about the Solar System!
