Written by Karin Reger & Katie Buczynski | Feb 12, 2022 1:29:21 PM

Our Swain second grade authors become experts in sports, games, places, animals, and math by researching topic they are passionate about and turning them into reference books.

 

Students showcased their expertise by creating books filled with facts about topics they are passionate about. In the process, they learned and discussed the importance of only including facts in their non fiction writing.  They also took the time to put together a table of contents, glossary, and author notes. 


Their writing celebration took place once their reference books were complete.  They we able to bring in and display items related to their topic and delivered presentations.  Fellow classmates and other teachers were avid listeners.  They learned new facts, asked intelligent questions, and practiced the art of giving constructive feedback.
