Nonfiction+Text+Features



As we work on using facts to support our opinions and ideas, it is important that we are able to understand the nonfiction texts that will help us learn. This week your assignment is to review some of the nonfiction text features that we often use to help us understand. You will then go on a scavenger hunt. Read online magazine articles (listed below) and note on your scavenger hunt form when you use the nonfiction text features. The more features you identify and use, the higher you score will be. Remember to complete all parts of the scavenger hunt form in order to receive credit!
