The kids have been working diligently on their expert books, and we share two books every day on the rug. The books have a cover page, a table of contents, 3 chapters, at least one illustration and a conclusion. I am so proud of the creativity and hard work the kids showed in their expert books. Here are some student work samples:
This is Bryan's Table of Contents - he's an expert in football.
I got this expert book idea from Kathy O. who writes the blog - Third Grade Doodles - there's a link to her blog under "Blogs I Follow." I highly recommend checking out her blog and her products at TPT. Here is the link for the expert project:
