“Expert” Nonfiction
The purpose of this type of writing is to allow writers (students) to use their own knowledge to write non-fiction. Writers use their own expertise for information rather than researching the topic. Helping students build a strong understanding of non-fiction writing, with paragraphs, table of contents, diagrams, and craft that elevates non-fiction writing, will give them a strong foundation for future writing of various non-fiction text. (L. Hale; A Guide to Writing Workshop)

Types of NonfictionTypes of NonfictionTypes of NonfictionTypes of Nonfiction
The Nonfiction Unit is broken The Nonfiction Unit is broken into 2 types of writing:into 2 types of writing:
•How-To Books How-To Books •All About BooksAll About Books
How-to Book
A How-to book requires a writer to identify a procedure he/she can do and give “the directions for that procedure starting at the beginning and proceeding in a step-by-step and explicit fashion to the end.”
How-to BooksLesson Summary
Students will plan, sketch, & write a How-to book in Lesson 3 & 4.
Lessons 5-8 are revision lessons focused on clarifying the directions/How-to books.
Lessons 10-13 will ask students to revise & edit books to prepare for publishing.
Tips and Tricks for How-to Books
Students will draft many How-to books within first part of unit.
The mentor texts we used were From Seed to Plant for grade 1 and Monarchs for grade 2, both by Gail Gibbons.
Spend some quality time in the immersion lesson/genre study. Provide many nonfiction books for students to look through & analyze for characteristics.
Have many copies of the How-to paper.
Push students to chose a topic they really know how to do. Suggest a school related How-to if they are struggling, i.e. “How to order lunch” or “How to get ready for writing.”
A published piece in this unit may be one How-to story that the student has revised and edited or it may be a collection of How-to stories that the student has revised and edited. How much a student publishes in this unit depends on the writer.

How does the How to part of this Nonfiction Unit address the common core at your grade level?
All About Books
An All About book requires a writer to teach the reader about a topic that he/she is an expert in through his/her writing.
This second part of the unit will expand on students’ understanding of expository writing. Students will now use chapters/sections as well as incorporate a variety of writing styles/formats/layouts to convey information.
All About Books Lesson Summary
Lesson 2-4 will prepare students for All About book with a topics list, draft of a Table of Contents, and draft a How to page for their All About book. Lesson 5 & 6 will introduce special features of a nonfiction/expository book.
Lessons 7-11 teach students how to add additional information in fun & interesting ways within the nonfiction genre, such as adding numbers & names related to the topic, advice, weird facts, and/or observations. These facts should be written in paragraph form.
Lessons 12-14 teach students how to revise their All About book for publication.
Lessons 16 & 17 apply the conventions to good writing in preparation for publication & celebration.
Tips and Tricks for All About Books
Be sure students know “all about” the topic that they choose. Spend the time brainstorming to ensure that they know at least 10 things about the topic.
Students will write & publish 1 All About Book. They can revise and edit the entire book or just a few pages.
Study All About books to fully understand how focused the topic is. Gail Gibbons is a great mentor author for this unit.
Use the “Everything I Know About…” template in Lesson 3 rather than the Table of Contents.
Include pages that are typical of nonfiction, such as diagrams, but ensure that students write paragraphs about the subcategories on their topics.
Students can do outside reading about their topic; however, this is not a research writing assignment. Students should not be assigned reading on their topic.
You do not need to become an expert on every topic that your students choose.
It is okay if some of their facts/ideas are incorrect. The goal is for students to develop their understanding of and explore the nonfiction genre.
All About Books Often HaveAnchor Chart
A big All-About title (that gives readers a clue that it will be about a big topic)
A How-To page

Headings (that name its different sections or chapters)
Table of Contents (to tell the reader the titles of the sections or chapters and the page numbers)
Pictures (that match the information in the words)

Writing: You will continue working on your all about book. Try to add advice or weird facts relating to the topic.

Nonfiction writing in kindergarten. Anchor charts for informational texts and model writing for writers workshop.
Good times in our Reading and Writing Workshop this past week. We jumped into nonfiction studies. I handed 2-3 nonfiction books to each reading partner with some Post-it notes. I asked them to put the notes in areas of the book that looked different from the story books we have been reading.
Nonfiction Writing: Looking at the work of others
I circulated the room and commented on those who found nonfiction text features. I did this is a slightly louder voice, so others quickly caught on. Once we came back together we charted the things we noticed. After they left, I took some photocopies and re-wrote this chart.
We then read a couple of nonfiction books about polar bears.
On day one we put our facts down in light blue. On day two (book two) we added new facts in darker blue. It is hard to tell in this picture, but it is a great way for us to check our schema and monitor our learning.
Nonfiction Writing: Model Writing for the Class
I then set out to write my own nonfiction text. I modeled going back to the above chart over and over.
Here is the book I wrote with my kiddos.
We also worked in a little polar bear action into my morning message (which was a Riddle of the Day). It is a great way to work in inferential thinking!
I get my riddles here.
Sadly, I do not have any student samples to show you. I had three students start a piece of nonfiction writing, but we only had a few days to work on it, so it would be premature to show it. However, I am confident some, if not most, of my other students, will jump on board and start one this week.

Wow! What wonderful ideas! I love: – the two colours used when charting facts – the illustrative tools for sharing ideas
Thank you so much for sharing!
http://learning-new-words.blogspot.com/
Love this! You draw very well, I am always impressed with your little books. The last time I drew some people on our morning message my students shouted "Yay! Aliens!" I just went with it, of course I was trying to draw aliens! LOL
I. LOVE. YOUR. WRITING. POSTS! They are so helpful and full of information. Ms. A
Thanks guys! Randi, I edited my post and added the Riddle of the Day source. I should have done that with the original post. I LOVE this book. We use it all year long.
I really need to make that anchor chart about non-fiction books!!!! I confuse my kiddos because I say non-fiction, but in the common core they call it informational. Do you just call it both?
Great post!
Sounds like a great week for nonfiction! Jennifer First Grade Blue SKies
Hi Deedee! I've been using a lot of your ideas in my writing block and it's been working great! When you write a book with your class do you just do a page a day with them? Do they all want to write about the same thing that you do??? That's one of the problems I'm facing. How do you encourage original ideas? Little Warriors
You are wonderful!
This is too cute. I especially love the page where you drew the bubbles of the things the polar bear eats. I think your drawings rock. I always tell my class "Ms. Fleming is a teacher not an artist!"
Where do you get your riddles or do you make them up? Thanks. Randi @ Teach It With Class My TPT Store My Facebook Page
Hi Katie! Yes, I do a page a day with my kiddos. At first, my kids want to write what I write, but over time, they venture into their own ideas. This becomes a little trick (like right now) because I would like my class to write nonfiction, but they are still interested in their own stories.
You know everyday you have kids bursting to tell you a story about something that happened in their life. I listen enthusiastically then say, "Oh my! You know, you could write about that." Parents tell me their child says the same thing to them at home."Oh Mom! I could write about this."
My hope is that the kids write for themselves and not for me. I want them to write about the rich stories they have to tell. See you soon!
I bought the Riddle of the Day from Scholastic after you recommended it last year and love it! We are doing our non-fiction unit on penguins this week and the non-fiction anchor chart is genius! I always love reading your posts 🙂 You are the BOMB! Erin Eberhart’s Explorers
What kinds of activities do you do with your polar bears? I am a new teacher and want to do a winter unit that is informational! Any tips or suggestions?!
I love your book! Compared to my drawings, you would definitely win a Caldecott – I can't even draw stick people very well! I also love the anchor chart on nonfiction – I might have to make one next week! Teachin' First
WOW! Awesome stuff. I love your Polar Bear. 🙂
Melly<>< Stapler’s Strategies for Sizzlin' Second Graders!
Deedee, I just LOVED this post… and all of your great non-fiction ideas. We just wrapped up our Non-Fiction writing unit. It was an awesome time of growth for my writers! : )

4th grade nonfiction writing samples
by: Jessica Kelmon | Updated: June 21, 2018
Print article
In fourth grade, students are starting to prepare for middle school, when nonfiction writing is practiced in all subjects. What’s more, under the Common Core Standards, nonfiction writing is more and more essential to the curriculum. Learn more about your fourth grader’s writing under Common Core . According to the standards, students should be learning three types of writing:
Informative/explanatory writing
Like a report, the purpose of this type of writing is to convey information accurately with facts, details, and supportive information.
These can be stories or screenplays or other fiction written in the first, second, or third person.
Opinion pieces
In opinion writing, students encourage readers to accept their opinion about something by writing what they and why.
Fourth grade writing sample #1
John Cabot and the Rediscovery of North America
In this child’s report on John Cabot, you’ll see a few important features. First, there are five sections, each with a bolded header announcing what sort of information follows. Note that the fifth section is the bibliography, where everyone can see the two sources this student relied on for her information.
Type of writing: Informative/explanatory writing
Fourth grade writing sample #2
Big Book of Evolution
Dylan’s report on evolution is also divided into sections. Note that Dylan uses visuals throughout this report. What’s more, the report has a table of contents at the beginning, and at the end, Dylan cites his sources for the written information and the visuals.
Fourth grade writing sample #3
A Tale of Despereaux
This is a classic fourth grade book report. Note that the student uses headers to announce what type of information follows: the summary, the characters, and the writer’s recommendation about the book.
Fourth grade writing sample #4
Zoos Should Close
This student writes an opinion piece about why she thinks zoos should close. Note that she cites multiple reasons with examples of why zoos aren’t good for animals. She also addresses a counterargument and refutes it, which isn’t actually required until seventh and eighth grade.
Type of writing: Opinion writing
See more examples of real kids’ writing in different grades: Kindergarten , first grade , second grade , third grade , fifth grade .
