As a future teacher it's great for students in the classroom to experience nonfiction books. Nonfiction is the literature of fact consisting of biographies and information books that revolve around the social and scientific world. Nonfiction can benefit the students in our classroom in six major different ways. 1. It offers a key to success in later schooling, 2. It is ubiquitous in the larger society, 3. It is the preferred reading material for some children, 4. It addresses children's interest and questions,5. It builds knowledge of the natural and social world and 6. it includes many important text features.
An excellent technique that I would use in my classroom with my students is the biographies report about authors who write nonfiction children books. I would have the students select three authors and complete a biographies. I would have the students in my classroom complete a science project on books he/she has read that is related to science. The last technique i would use with the students in my classroom is having the students research information in books authors write to make sure it's credited and up to date. These activities not only challenge the students academically but builds interest to reading nonfiction material. A website that I would diffidently use in the future that can help me pick great quality books that was mention in the chapter and i visited is; 100 best nonfiction books for Pre-K to 8th grade.
