Steve Jenkins Author Study

I am WAY behind on sharing what we have been learning this year. This week I'm going to try my best to get caught up!

WAAAAAAY back in October my class did an author study on Steve Jenkins. He is a nonfiction writer and my kids were SO into his books. They loved learning new things about the earth, animals and much more! I updated my author study unit to include nonfiction activities.

Our study began like our others where each student got their own author study journal. Instead of reading reflections, there were more graphic organizers including KWL charts, webs and paper to make lists.

Here are the books we read by Steve Jenkins, plus a few more!

Here are a few examples of my kid's nonfiction writing:

At the end of October we made a class book where the kids chose their favorite topic from Steve Jenkins' books:
