Nonfiction Books

Hello Grade Fives!

Last week I asked you to tell me about the types of fiction you enjoy. This week, in a paragraph, please tell me nonfiction books you enjoy e.g. How to Draw, Machines, Horses etc.

Just a reminder that a paragraph contains:

a) topic (promise) sentence: what you promise to tell the reader about

b)at least three support sentences (at least): s

pecific examples or details about your topic (where you keep your promise)

c) concluding sentence: where you remind the reader what you promised to tell the reader

Remember to reread your post before submitting it, checking your spelling and punctuation.

As always, I am looking forward to reading your responses!

Love Mrs. French

I don't really like nonfiction books. I don't know why but I get so bored reading them. I haven't ever really read one that did intrest me. My favorite that I have read is some book on some kind of person that did something I don't really remember. That is my opinion on nonfiction books.

Good moorning Mrs.French

I like to read about things that make me have lingering questions and make me think. I like to get information when I read. When I read nonfiction books, it makes me think how did that happen? or why did it happen? Say I was reading a dinosoar book, I would think, why did the dinosoars get flooded by the caps that melted? How did the caps melt? that sort of thing makes me think.I like to read about things that give me lingering questionsand make me think.

I like non fiction books as well as fiction. My favorite nonfiction book is book ones that tell you about animals or electirity. I like books about electricity because how it works is very interesting and I want to learn how to make and elictric motor. I like books about animals and bugs because It pretty amazing how little bugs can glow, fly for hours or kill something in minutes. Animals are cool to because some of them are really strong or hit something at 50 km per hour without getting injured (mountain goat) or suvive in the 60 below 0. I think animals, bugs and electricity is very cool, and thats why I like nonfiction books too

These are some of my favourite types of nonfiction books. I have to read them if I want facts about something. I like How to Draw books, they are fun. I like a humorous book, which is why I don’t like nonfiction books that much. Those are just some of the nonfiction books I like.

kangaroo9blueberry said...

I don't usually like nonfiction books. Sometimes I like them when they're on animals. I once was interested in a subject so I gathered some nonfiction books and I studied them. Also, they're usually not humorous. Once I read a nonfiction book that had stories about cats but they weren't all that great.I don't really like nonfiction books.

horse8kiwi said...

I don’t really like to read non fiction books because I don’t have any books to read that are non fiction books. I kind of get a little bored reading them so then I go and play with my Lego. There is one kind of book I like to read and that is the spider wick chronicles. I also like reading beyond the spider wick chronicles. These are the books I like to read.
