Now on Display: Parkview Elementary Personal Expertise Books
 These personal expertise books were written by second graders at Parkview Elementary. Each student chose a topic that they know a lot about and then they used their personal knowledge to write the text. After writing the informational text, they used Google Slides to add text features like pictures with caption, headings, bold words, and glossaries. This writing piece was an introduction to the format of informational writing: introduction, multiple subtopics, and conclusion. The students worked very hard on their pieces and are very excited for the Novi community to be able to read them!
If you would like to view the student's personal expertise books, there is a green bin located on top of the bookshelf near the children's computers.
