What we did Wednesday and Thursday...

Identify features of a non-fiction text that help the reader understand what he or she is reading using the article "What do we Know About Sharks?" pg 873. Take Cornell Notes on the text features - not the article - to show your understanding. The summary should include what the text features do as a whole, how they are beneficial to the reader, and what you believe to be the most important feature.



Remember to review main vs. minor characters, internal vs. external conflict, inferencing, and points of view, and make sure you remember basic details about the stories we've read together. Also, bring index cards to class if you have them.

Bring your book to class everyday!!!
