I posted about My Reading Marathon and I tweaked it for non-fiction.
My kids don't make a peep while we do this...it is magical!
My next marathon will be poetry.

Read for 10 minutes
Box 2- Write a list of questions you have about your topic
Read for 10 minutes
Box 3- Draw a Photo or Illustration with a caption
Read for 10 minutes
Box 4- Write any interesting or new vocabulary with definitions
Read for 10 minutes
Box 5- Draw a diagram, Chart, Map, Graph or Timeline and Label
Read for 10 minutes
Box 6- List important facts about what you learned
