After learning or reviewing the text features of non-fiction books, this week students in 4th and 5th grade examined and practiced finding the features of a website that help you navigate to, find, and understand information. We related some of the features, such as a navigation bar, to the table of contents in a print text. Other features we examined are unique to online, such as interactive diagrams and linked headings. Students also learned about different browser features, such as the "reader" feature or "edit-find", that help the reader to locate and read the information provided. Students are practicing with appropriate websites that have many different features and styles.
