November Reader's Workshop


November / December / January Reader's Workshop






In this unit of reader's workshop, the second grade will be learning about the different types of Non-Fiction and the text features that support readers as they navigate their books and articles.


The types of Non-Fiction texts the second graders will explore are:
   Procedural non-fiction: teaches you how to make or do something
                        recipes, board games, how-to's
   Persuasive non-fiction: persuading someone to do something
                        reviews
    Narrative non-fiction: "story-like" non-fiction
                        biographies, autobiographies
   Informational/expository non-fiction:
                        all-about books





Students will explore several strategies for reading non-fiction well and will have the opportunity to read and explore topics that interest them.  After their initial exploration, students will be guided into reading informational books about animals.  Students will be expected to select an animal of their choice to research and will eventually publish their very own "All-About Book" and matching diorama.
