Rainbow Writing and Informational Text Features

We worked with similes and rainbows!  The kids wrote a simile for each color of the rainbow.  Here are some examples.

Last week we went on a text feature hunt!!  We brainstormed text features we already knew.  Students were given books, Post-Its, and went hunting for any features they could find.  When we came back to the mat we shared what we found and added to our list.
