The habitat units merge perfectly with the common core emphasis on non-fiction texts and informative writing. We've spent the week talking about non-fiction text features. That means I've introduced a whole new set of terminology to my growing readers. I had so much success teaching my kids about story elements with my Story Elements Poster Set that I decided to do the same thing with the non-fiction features.
I made up a set of posters to help my kiddos with the new terminology we're using. I've got a display of the posters where the kids can refer to them when we talk about the parts of non-fiction books that we are reading. I'm finding the posters are making a huge difference in solidifying the students' understanding the parts of the books and the non-fiction text terminology.
You can check out the posters at Teachers Pay Teachers. There are 17 posters in this set, but here's a quick preview of a few of the posters!
