Ms. Parsons Gr. 4's teach us about Text Features

Our Grade 4's are using their text feature skills in social studies as they learn about Aboriginal cultures, exploration and contact. What better way to share their knowledge than teaching their peers about how text features help us find information easily.

The boys used their poster (right) and their text books to teach and demonstrate how text features can help us find information quickly and efficiently. 

Aaron and Joey finished early and asked if they could blog to help teach other kids. Here is the conversation they shared.  Thanks for sharing boys.

It helps you find things easy in non-fiction books.

Because it different than the other words, it stands out.

What text feature do you like best? Why is it your favourite?

The contents because it helps find things and is at the front.
