Reading:

As we start to write our nonfiction books on Egypt, we are going to be using all of our reading skills to learn about how other authors write. Today, we are going to look through some books to notice how authors create a table of contents. This will help you with your writing activity today. Please do this activity before you do writing today!

Join me as I talk about what I notice about the table of contents in my nonfiction books!

Now it's your turn. Take a peek at some non-fiction books. They do not have to be on Ancient Egypt. What do you notice? Use this knowledge while completing your writing work today.

Writing:

Writers will begin to take what they have been learning in reading and plan how they will write a book about Ancient Egypt.

Today, writers will make a list of topics that interest them within the topic of Ancient Egypt.

For example, some students were very interested in the Sphinx and the Valley of the Kings while others may be interested in learning more about Ancient Egyptian games and art.

Make a list of 4- 8 topics that interest you!

Compare those feet. Who has the biggest foot? Who has the smallest?
