Tracking Information
This is where I often use a text book from another class that is driving the students bonkers trying to figure out what the important information is and using the non-text features of the book.

I have had students use sticky notes to find the 3-5 most important pieces of information on the page. I have had students skim the page and tell me what the main idea is in 1 minute (works on using those bold words). I have had students decide if the non-text feature is important at a big level or little level.

I definitely need to work on this part. Go to Non-Fiction Reading Text

How could they make their own textbook on another subject...?? Diane Lucas?? Social Studies Collaboration?
