Channel: Hannah Oberlander
Date: 2020-11-24

In this mini lesson, we will be answering the essential question: What are the different kinds of fiction books?  Students review the differences between fiction and nonfiction.  

Students explore various nonfiction titles that may peak their interest and provide a plethora of examples of nonfiction texts.  Students review similarities between nonfiction books as well as learn a working definition of genre.  Students are prompted to participate in a Non-fiction Brainstorm activity in which groups of students brainstorm together the types of genres for informational texts (for example: sports, animals, biographies, etc.)
