Nonfiction Text Element Scavenger Hunt

The Clarkia have been working on finding information and creating their own piece of expository text.  Before completing their writing we first had to learn the best ways to unlock information using text tools.  Our focus has been on using:  table of contents, index, headings, captions, glossary work, and much more.

We went on a scavenger hunt using the Oregon School Library Information System.

Using the National Geographic Kids ebooks we looked to see how quickly we could find information on rocks by using the many text tools.  This was a lot of fun and we found out some cool facts in a short amount of time.
