Non-fiction Book Reports

We have been reading lots of non-fiction books. We have discussed the different features and how they help us understand the text. Each student has chosen a non-fiction book to report on. These book reports are due on Thursday. We will be working on them in class, but parents need to check over the sentences and help with finishing details.
