Nonfiction Book Clubs

Last week we started our nonfiction book clubs. I introduced the book club topics: Dinosaurs, The Ocean, The Rainforest, Butterflies, Transportation, and Birds. The students chose two topics they would be interested in learning and researching more about. Then, I put together groups and we got started! Throughout the week, our mini lessons were focused on making a plan and reflecting on what the group wanted to learn more about, comparing and contrasting books, and jotting down important or interesting facts while researching. The students got together with their book clubs each day to read and discuss their topics. 

This week, the book clubs are each making a poster to showcase all they have learned. I will post some pictures of these posters and the book clubs working on them later this week. :)
