1st Grade Labelling Diagrams

We focused on diagrams as a text feature this week. After looking at books, Scholastic News magazines, and a Houghton Mifflin short article in the reader about diagrams, I asked students to make and label a diagram of their own. I asked them to create a drawing that would be a little hard to understand without the labels and include the labels, discussing with a partner how the labels made the diagram easier to understand.
