My Students

My students are 7th graders in a rural community who are developing a love for reading nonfiction materials. These students are a mix of boys and girls who are 11-12 years old. They choice read each and every day in my classroom! They love to read!

My Project

These novels will help my students to research, study, learn about, and learn to read nonfiction novels. The genre of nonfiction is so important to our youth as this is the genre most often used to communicate real-world information. With this unit in school, my students learn how to read nonfiction, compare situations to their lives, and present information that is most important. With the use of these sports-related books and other novels, I will be able to connect with students who may not typically enjoy reading. These novels open up a new world of nonfiction that involves names and faces they are familiar with.
