Extreme Weather Books

We have finally concluded our second unit in Lucy Calkin's Reading Workshop! The focus of this unit was reading non-fiction text. The second bend of the unit asks students to research and create books on extreme weather. We used the app Book Creator to create our books. Students spent about 4 weeks research information using books and websites. Students spent a few days finding text features that would support the information in each chapter of their book. We also spent a few days talking about copyright and using sources from the internet correctly. Here is a link to our Google site which hosts the books!
