ME: Welcome to the 1st Dorothy Hamm Middle School Nonfiction Chapter Book Book CLub Conference. TOday, six book clubs, will share their expertise after reading a nonfiction chapter book. Get ready to learn about the Cold War, the making of Google, a person named Malala, a person named Omar, Japanese Internment Camps and about being quiet. Thank you for attending this conference, being curious to learn new things and sharing your own expertise. Let’s get started!
Fallout Book Club, as a Tedtalk, presenter: The Cold War takes place after World War 2 where 2 major superpowers of the world are the U.S. and Soviet Union….

I Am Malala Poster Presenters (as a conclusion and with 3-voices together): “One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.”

When Stars Are Scattered Book Club Expert Panel Presenters: (L as Moderator asks “Omar” played by Y what school was like in the refugee camp.) A classroom was filled with about 100 students. I was lucky because I was one of the few who had a notebook.”

ME: Thank you for attending and presenting at our conference. I learned so much. Please pick one idea you took notes on while listening. When I say go, walk around and share something you learned and listen to what a conference attendee learned. Talk to six different conference attendees. Conferences are a great time to talk with others! GO!
NOTE: This slice gives you a glimpse of the unit celebration which is now one of my favorite Units of Study from TCRWP. It is called, Tapping the Power of Nonfiction by Katie Clements. I honestly was intimidated by nonfiction novels. Katie’s unit changed this for me.
