Description
This BAT unit is perfect for reviewing non-fiction reading strategies with a focus on text features and main idea and key details. The unit begins with text feature slides/posters and moving around the classroom to hunt for text feature. Main idea and key details are reviewed prior to reading the included All About Bats presentation. A read aloud questioning guide is included with this text as well! After reading, students complete a bat craft and writing activity to reflect on their knowledge of main idea and key details. This craft would look perfect displayed in the classroom or on a bulletin board in the hall!
