A New Emphasis on Nonfiction:
Nonfiction reading is one of the most important skills we can have in our 'English handbag'. The new Common Core language arts and literacy standards place more emphasis on reading nonfiction starting with an equal emphasis on literature and informational text in elementary school. At nearly all grade levels, students are expected to develop research skills across content areas with a strong focus on nonfiction, including literary nonfiction; essays; biographies and autobiographies; journals and technical manuals; and charts, graphs, and maps. Our unit will focus on the Titanic, beginning with reading about it in our literature books, continuing into online research based on one of the passengers on board, and culminating in a keynote presentation focusing on their research.
