A Place for Wonder: Reading and Writing Nonfiction in the Primary Grades by Jennifer McDonough, Georgia Heard

4.0

Lots of great suggestions for teaching nonfiction. I like the idea of starting with wonders that the students have to get them into nonfiction writing without relying on research but on their own ideas. I also like the idea of having students write about what they learned in books and research without copying it directly from the book/text; this would really help with plagiarism and get students used to putting things into their own words.
