To Inform/Entertain

 To Inform & To Entertain:


 
Students used a past issue of Scholastic Books to cut and past into a 'T Chart' under the correct category. Does someone read this book to be entertained or informed? This activity was in addition to the work we have been doing on Fiction and Non-Fiction, and also goes hand-in-hand with the reading logs students do daily.
The hardest part was determining whether some of the animal books were fiction or non-fiction. Some students had difficulty with with this because many of the non-fictions texts they check out of the library are about animals, so they always associate animal books being non-fiction. They did very well with this activity and really enjoyed it!
