Nonfiction rules! When you walk into a classroom awash in nonfiction, you know it - no quiet kids sitting at desks here. Instead we see them chattering a mile a minute over a photograph of the jaws of great white shark or brimming with questions while poring over books about the Underground Railroad.

Nonfiction rules! When you walk into a classroom awash in nonfiction, you know it - no quiet kids sitting at desks here. Instead we see them chattering a mile a minute over a photograph of the jaws of great white shark or brimming with questions while poring over books about the Underground Railroad.
Join Sephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis, authors of Strategies That Work, in Barb Smith's reading workshop as her students begin to explore the wild and wooly world of nonfiction where merely getting the fact isn't enough. Nonfiction readers need to merge their thinking with the information - to learn, understand, and remember it.
In Think Nonfiction! the focus is on comprehension strategies for gaining information - specifically noticing new learning, asking questions, and determining importance. We watch Steph and Anne teach alongside Barb as he launches a nonfiction study and helps kids learn how to read for information, choose a topic, and do research. Steph does a mini-lesson to model how she stops and things when she encounters new information as she reads. Anne and Barb demonstrate how they read as partners and respond to new information. Then Barb, Anne, and Steph move about the room conferring with kids as they read a notification article and use these strategies to enhance their understanding.
The video culminates in a conversation with Steph, Barb, and Anne as they think through nonfiction instruction that supports kids as they read to learn and engage in independent research. Barb shares her own research process and her kids' unique ways of organizing their thinking and bringing learning to life. The study guide includes extensive lesson ideas for a nonfiction course of study and offers a step-by-step approach to guiding research with kids' own topics.
