My project is adding the use of nonfiction texts to support current instruction and learning in the classroom. I believe this could benefit the student's reading levels and increase their interest in reading both fiction and nonfiction and their interest and understanding in Science. Students currently don't read much nonfiction about science and this will change that. A nonfiction book can add so much more depth to a topic than is in the textbook. It is also possible to present the material in a variety of ways for instance I plant to include different types of nonfiction styles such as: graphic nonfiction, narrative nonfiction, a chronological approach, or an exploratory book. I plan on adding different projects to the curriculum where the students can use the books to research and create book trailers, commercials, videos, bibliographies, create additional topics for group discussion, timelines, and much more.
