Nonfiction Writers
1/9/2021
One of my favorite parts of the writing process is sharing the final product. For our nonfiction unit, the students used the program BookCreator to publish their final draft of their informational books. They were able to choose any topic of interest to research. Their books were required to have a table of contents, at least four chapters, a glossary, and several text features. When it was time to present, we celebrated our successful unit with a "publishing party". Each student presented their book and we had cookies and juice! If I could choose one word to describe these students this week it would be courageous. It is no easy task to share something that you have created with others. In fact, public speaking is one of the biggest phobias of American adults. The students did a great job supporting each other and being good audience members. It was a great introduction into our next writing and speaking challenge: persuasive speeches! Comments are closed.
