My Project

Third-grade students are naturally curious about the world around them. They like to learn about real things, people and places. The different nonfiction books in this project will allow my students to be able to learn more about different people, things, and places from the past and present. My students will be able to read the different nonfiction books to explain the relationships between the major and minor characters. They will be able to analyze plot elements, conflict and resolution, and the sequence of events.

“To read is to voyage through time.” – Carl Sagan.

With these nonfiction books, my students will be able to explore the world around them.

Nonfiction books are real books that tell, inform, teach, and explain.

These books will not only hit my students' interests, but they will also prepare them for the nonfiction parts of the reading portion of state testing.
