This power point uses graphic organizers to help students determine fiction from non-fiction. For fiction selections I use a story map graphic organizer. For non-fiction I use a main idea and details web. This power point shows the students how to use these graphic organizers to help them determine fiction from non fiction.

The students will make their own flash cards and can sort them when they have extra time. They can continue to add to this center.

The students will pick their word, find out it's part of speech and meaning and they can keep this in their brain bins to take out and add to or sort whenever they want to.
