The Manchester Township School District's (MTSD) staff are always creating fun learning experiences for their students. Miss Russo's third-grade class at Ridgeway Elementary School became surgeons last week during their language arts lesson! They put on their surgical masks, grabbed their "surgical" scissors, put on their thinking caps along with their homemade doctor hats, and went to work on their patients... non-fiction texts!
Students performed "text feature surgery" to deepen their understanding of how to use various features of nonfiction text. For this activity, they needed to read the patient's file, which described their challenge and prescribed them a nonfiction text feature that would cure them. Finally, they had to cut the text feature out and paste it into the patient's file.
Way to go Miss Russo and her class of text-surgeons!
