How to Use this Resource:

1. Back-to-School Icebreaker:
   kick off the school year with a fun and informative activity. Have your
   students complete their flap books as a way to introduce themselves to
   the class. To add an element of mystery, collect the flap books and
   randomly distribute them. Challenge the class to guess who each flap
   book belongs to based on the informative content inside. This not only
   reinforces the features of informative text but also makes for an
   engaging icebreaker.
2. Feature Exploration Stations:
   create interactive stations in the classroom, each focusing on a
   specific feature of informative text (e.g., headings, details,
   conclusion). Have your students rotate through these stations with their
   flap books, applying and practicing each feature as they go. This
   hands-on approach allows for targeted skill development while keeping
   the activity dynamic and educational.
3. Student-Teacher Conferences:
   use the flap books as a basis for one-on-one conferences with students.
   Discuss the content, ask clarifying questions, and provide personalized
   feedback on their use of informative text features. This individualized
   approach not only reinforces the importance of these features but also
   allows for a deeper connection between teachers and students as they
   share personal stories.

These ideas aim to integrate
the features of informative text seamlessly into classroom activities
while also incorporating a back-to-school theme and an element of
curiosity.
