Your students will actually learn how to read and analyze literary nonfiction texts with interactive notebook lessons, practice activities, and then application of their learning by writing nonfiction text analysis responses daily.
No more, “I don’t know what to write,” or “I don’t understand the assignment,” because I have created over 30 examples of nonfiction analysis responses and every nonfiction analysis reference tool for students.
Each lesson is broken down step-by-step for teachers and each example is broken down with explanations for students.
This unit is 100% designed to be used with any nonfiction text or book, but I have included unique examples for each grade level by using a different mentor text for each:

-
Seventh Grade- Brown Girl Dreaming by Jaqueline Woodson
-
Eighth Grade- The Finest Hours by Michael J. Tougias and Casey Sherman
Prep is quick and easy… Just print the student pages, gather the materials listed, display my examples, teach the lesson, and you’re ready for middle schoolers who can write true nonfiction analysis responses.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Julie N. says, “I absolutely love every resource I buy from Martina. The layout is easy to follow, it correlates with her other resources, and has everything you need in it. The standards are aligned with every lesson, suggested responses are included, clear procedures, learning objectives, and so much more.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dee F. says, “I’ve used a handful of Martina’s resources already and this one does not disappoint. I love how cohesive all units have been so far. Similar vocabulary and literary analysis concepts are introduced, but each one is done uniquely and in application to the genre being studied, providing great practice. I can’t rave enough about all of Martina’s resources!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anne Marie C. says, “This resource was awesome! I moved into a non-fiction unit with my students and used a few of these lessons to help my students understand the non-fiction genre. The lessons were engaging and effective! “
