February Book Sharing

We will have the normal schedule for book sharing for February.

Non-fiction: a book presentation



A non-fiction book is one that is written about a certain topic.  It contains facts and information about that topic.  It does not tell an imaginary story.



Your book presentation genre for February is non-fiction.  You will make a mobile to help you share some of the things you learned.  Here’s what you will need to do…

1.       Choose a book and have Mr. Mike OK it.  Read and enjoy!
2.       Look back over the book and choose at least five things that you learned or understand better.  You will use these for your mobile.
3.      Gather materials:
·         A solid support—a piece of wood, a hanger, a stick, ???
·         String or yarn
·         Poster board or light cardboard
4.      Choose a shape that represents your topic (for example if your topic is space, you might want to have giant stars).  You can choose several different shapes if you would like (for example, if your book was on healthy eating, you might want use different fruits and vegetables). 
5.      Cut out one shape from the poster board or cardboard for each fact and one for the title and author.
6.      Write one of the amazing facts on each of your shapes (and the book title and author on another).  Be sure that it is written neatly and has no mistakes.  You can look back in your book for things like spelling or the correct date.
7.      Punch a hole in the top of each shape and use the string or yarn to attach them to the support.  Having different lengths may make your mobile more interesting to look at.

8.      On the date of your presentation, you will share the book’s title and author (after your attention-getting introduction!).  You will also share what the main topics of the book are.  Then you will show your shapes and tell why you picked each fact as being special.  You will share your opinion of the book and then have a strong closing that will let the audience know that you have finished and that they can applaud loudly!
