I've combined a few of my nonfiction items into one pack! This pack includes 2 different nonfiction activities: a nonfiction acrostic where students can creatively describe what makes a book "non-fiction", and a few pages of nonfiction place "markers" to use as bookmarks when your class goes on a text feature hunt!
It also includes my Non-Fiction Text Features Worksheet-- a quick, 8 question worksheet about Non-Fiction text features. It includes 6 "matching" and 2 true/false questions about: Table of Contents, Title Page, Glossary, Index, Heading, and Caption. Great to use as a quick assessment!
Finally, I've included one of my best-sellers: my Non-Fiction Text Features Quiz! Students can use this quiz with just about any nonfiction book! Open ended questions ask students to located specific features, then explain why they are useful or what they help with. There are also 4 true/false questions at the bottom! This is a great "authentic" assessment for students to use during your nonfiction reading unit.

This pack provides a variety of ways for students to quickly and easily review NF text features. The level of difficulty builds from identifying features to asking students to tell how they use particular features.

When I downloaded this document, it did not have anything on any of the pages. I could see boarders and the text that said that it is a sample and you have to download the full copy. I am not sure what is going on.

Thanks for stopping by and purchasing the pack. I'm so sorry it's not downloading correctly for you. If you would, click "My Purchases" up at the top...then on the top right corner of that page, there's a "Need Help?" section. This will take you to Paul and the team. They're GREAT at figuring out technical difficulties. It may be as simple as not having the newest Adobe software, but it could also be something else! I wish I could help and give you the magic advice, but I promise, if you click through the "help", they will fix it! :)
Let me know if you need anything else. Happy Thursday!

I wish you had given visual examples of each text feature.

Just Tinkerin' Around! (TpT Seller)
I'm very sorry about this! Due to copyright laws, I cannot use images from books to put direct examples in this file. When you sell an item, or share online, the copyright laws become very strict! A really easy and quick way to show examples to you children is with your very own Science, Social Studies, or even Math textbooks. Each of those books have wonderful, "stereotypical" examples of all the features...in one place!
Hope this helps. Have a great Thursday.

It's nice but a waste of two pages...plus the last page is advertising...so after the cover page, it's really just an 8 page document...disappointing.

This did not download to my computer. Every page was blank. I could only see boarders on the pages. I think there is something wrong.

Hi There!
I'm so sorry you're experiencing some technical difficulties...I'm sure that's no fun! If you wouldn't mind trying 2 things, and then if those don't work, I'll give you one more suggestion! First, make sure you have the latest Adobe viewer. I know sometimes certain files don't work well if you have an older version. Also, if you're on a Mac, try a PC. Also, it is sometimes finicky :) Finally, try scrolling all the way through to see the other pages. Some pages are "watermarked" with the red stamp, however, the other clean copies are in there too!
If that doesn't work, click up top under "My Purchases". On the top right corner, there's a box where you can contact TpT team and they can help further. Please let me know if you're still having problems later, and hopefully we can find a way to help. Thanks!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Hello Teachers! My name is Jillian, and I'm a 2nd grade teacher. I have been teaching 2nd grade for 2 years now. Before that, I've been a tutor, a substitute teacher, and a student myself! I love the classroom, and I love playing around on the computer. Creating useful tools is a knack that I have fallen into, and I might add-- it's rather fun! :)
