Non-fiction predictions

Toady in 601 we used non fiction books to help us predict. To start with when I told the, I chose words from the glossary someone right away said they must be non-fiction since that is a text feature. That opened up for us a discussion on text features in books. In groups of 3 they read five vocabulary words and then made some predictions about 1 of 6 mystery books. They made predictions on the vocabulary.  By the time they were dome they made predictions that the books were about animals.  Some had started to categorize the animals on vertebrate and invertebrate. It also provided us the chance to connect to science and learn some new vicabulary as we'll. each group made one final prediction on the topic of their choice and together do a written response to support their thinking.
