Not only will this be evidence of your understanding but the beginning of a database of guides for non-fiction for teachers and students at Abington High School. We will all be reading more non-fiction acorss various content areas, and we all can use a trusted guide as we begin to work with a new genre.
Consider the following formats: web-page, book, booklet, brochure or Jackdaw.
Suggest a new format that is an amalgam or these--experiment!
You know what students need most.
- In your comments, describe the kind of guide that will be most helpful to the reader of your book.
- List the features you will include.
- Feel free to ask any questions about the assignment here, too.
I think the best kind of guide will be a booklet with different questions for each chapter with a summary, and also links to external works that connect to the text and that have deeper a knowlegde on the topic. I would also include a feature with possible essay questions for students and also an outline of all important parts of the novel. My question is are we acting as if we are teaching our book to the class or if we are teaching thhem how to read non-fiction as a whole?
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to use the blog. It will be easy to use and allow me to easily add pages as I go.
