On Feb. 28, Bayville Primary School’s second graders welcomed family and friends to the gymnasium to read biographies they made in class. Students in Ms. Morales’, Ms. Sivacek’s, Ms. Pagan’s and Ms. Coules’ classes used the new Schoolwide literacy program’s non-fiction reading and writing units to write a biography about public or historical figures they were interested such as Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall, Jackie Robinson and Walt Disney.
Over the past few weeks, students learned about the components of non-fiction and researched their subjects, taking notes on their graphic organizers. After completing a draft, the students learned how to edit and revise like an author and created their non-fiction books on Book Creator.
