Before, During and After: Strategies for Reading Nonfiction
 |
Every weekday on the Time Learning Network blog they take an important or interesting news or feature story from the week and turn it into a quick series of questions and activities designed to help students both understand the story and connect it to their own lives.
Each edition has suggestions for engaging the class before they read the story; questions about the article for during and after they have read it; and activity suggestions for going further.
The story picks range from politics to pop culture, science, social media, sports, history, the arts and literature, so you can use this as a source of compelling nonfiction for lesson plans, homework assignments and extra-credit projects.
Teachers often ask for resources for non-fiction topics that include a variety of contents, and choice. This is a great resource of topics, and strategies to engage students with non-fiction informational texts.
Let us know in comments on the blog if you try this lesson and have success with your students.
