Informational Text Features

Last week in Reading Workshop students learned how to compare informational texts to realistic fictional stories. This week we are focusing on text features which help us better understanding the information in the text. This week we have learned about: diagram and labels, cutaways and captions.  

We have learned that a diagram is a photograph or drawing that gives information. A label is used to help the reader identify a picture or a photograph and/or its parts. A cutaway is used to help the reader understand something by looking at it from the inside. A caption is used to help the reader better understand a picture or a photograph.

 Below are some examples of the work we have completed in our Informational Text Feature Books!
