Twin Text #1 Non fiction book Igloos- fiction book How Things came to be Inuit Stories Of Creation
The nonfiction book is informational and gave a brief description of Inuit people, the fiction book has a story about their lives. If kids are interested by the nonfiction book this fiction book would be detailed and fun to read. The fiction book is for second through fifth grade level. It is not a hard read but it does have some words kids would have never seen before. The nonfiction book is for early readers and easier to read. I found these books to be about the same topic, both give a history of the Inuit people. You can grab the attention with the Igloo book, then give them the other book if they wish to learn more about Inuit life. Both books also share history and words used so students are incorporating learning, a huge plus for teachers.
