Celebrate Nonfiction

Exploring the Joy of Nonfiction Reading and Writing

Resources for Educators: Nonfiction Voice

More and more, teachers are requesting educational resources that go
beyond traditional teachers guides and activity sheets. So while I do still
have those kinds of materials on my website, I’m also offering resources that
delve deeply into the nonfiction reading and writing process from an author’s
point of view.


Some of these resources focus on books I’ve written and describe various
stages of my creative process in detail, while others provide more general
information  and highlight books written
by a wide variety of nonfiction authors. 

On Mondays this year, I’m sharing some of these resources and providing
ideas for how they might be used in the classroom. Today, I’m going to continue
discussing the Writing Activities and Mentor Text sections, which you can
access by clicking on the Nonfiction Writing Resources icon.

Under the Voice link, you’ll find a description of this text element that includes
mentor texts as well as an activity to help students understand the range of
voices nonfiction can exhibit, from lively to lyrical.
