Nonfiction Book Clubs

We are so excited about our nonfiction book clubs. Today we learned that nonfiction readers monitor for meaning and learn what the author is trying to teach us. We determined the main idea of a section of our book and the supporting details. We learned to jot about this by writing "The big thing I learned today is ...." And then included examples "For example, for example..."
We then discussed our jots with our book club members.
