'·       Students learning about bears compare illustrations from the fiction and nonfiction books that they have read or that have been read aloud to them to determine whether each illustration shows factual or fictional bears. They name the identifying characteristics that help them make their determinations.

 

·       Students keep a two-column record of their viewing. For each movie, television show, or commercial viewed, they take notes identifying “The Real” (column 1) and “The Unreal” (column 2). Following each daily record, students write a brief note indicating what was missing that would have made each show or commercial more realistic. Class discussion focuses on the impact of deviations from the real.
