Nonfiction Book Talk

The book I chose to discuss is Solar System. It is put in terms simple enough for first graders  to understand. This book discusses the size, and order of the plants as well as what the planets are made up of. This is a very good introductory book to get your children interested in space and the planets that make up our solar system. I would use this book when introducing space so they are made aware of what planets are in our solar system, and I would often be able to refer back to it during oour space lesson when students are struggling to remember any of the key points made within the book.

Traditional Literature- Alice in Wonderland

The book I chose for traditional literature is one of my favorites, Alice in Wonderland. When I was younger, I really enjoyed this book due to its magical features. This book can be introduced in third grade due to it being a chapter book, with words at advanced levels as well as thematic topics throughout the book. This book is about a young girl adapting to growing up and making her own decisions, all while staying composed for the best outcome. This is a bit of a coming of age story from learning the rules of life, right down to the inevitability of dangers around every corner.
