My students are currently engaged in a nonfiction book club unit of study. They absolutely enjoyed series book clubs and giving them the opportunity to talk about their nonfiction books is becoming an even bigger hit!
Because I always like to link my reading and writing units, students will continue with nonfiction writing as well. This is the nonfiction writing process chart that I put together. It is adapted from the chart included in the book Nonfiction Matters by
Tony Stead. I put different pictures on it and added a couple of bullets of my own. I like to use this chart when the kids are working through nonfiction reading and writing units. It contains editing and revising points that are easy for the kids to follow. They each have one in their writing folders. They are laminated and the kids use a wet erase marker to track their progress through the steps.
