Surprising Sharks!

We participated in the Patricia Gallagher Picture Book Award contest this past week.  We received 5 books to read and choose our favorite.  In true Room 9 fashion the winner was....  Surprising Sharks! by Nicola Davies.  Before reading we gathered all the information we already knew about sharks (green Stickies).  Then we read the book, taking notes (red Stickies) along the way.


After reading I drew a GIANT shark from the book and we determined where our information would look best.  Then we transferred our ideas to the chart, including what we determined were opinions in the corner there.  Thanks to Debbie Miller for the idea!
 
He really has taken Non Fiction Conventions to heart.  Look at all those arrows.

Everyone got involved.



The final product is a large poster filled with facts! (and a few opinons...)
