Endangered:
Can you help us?
We need you.
There is still hope!
This will be a narrated slide.
 First, insert a video to gain attention and to
set the stage.
 Then say, “These animals really need our
help. How can we help then? Where can we
look for information to learn more about these
animals?”
Let’s journey into the
WILD as we uncover
the secrets of using
nonfiction text to
locate information.
What is nonfiction text?
•Nonfiction books tell you about REAL
people, places, and events.
•Nonfiction books give you information.

For example, a book entitled, Endangered

Animals, would teach the definition of
“endangered.” It would give information
about real animals. It would probably tell
what is being done to save endangered animals
and give ideas for how we can help
endangered animals.
Scroll over each title to see
if it is nonfiction.
Sea Turtles, Past And Present
A Penny For A Panda
Animals In Danger
Hey! Get Off Our Train
My Dad Turned Into A Tiger
Crocodiles
Saving Our Wildlife
Narration Slide
 “Now that we know what nonfiction is, how
can we use these books to learn more about
endangered animals?
You can learn a lot about a book just
by looking at the title and the first
few pages.
Most nonfiction books have 3
important parts:
» Title
» Table of Contents
» Chapter Headings

Knowing how to use these parts can

help you locate information
quickly.
 *Click on each label to learn
how to use that book part.

Needs of Animals 3
Endangered Animals 6
Causes of Endangerment 10
How You Can Help 16

must find out some information about them.
We know that we now know that we need
some nonfiction books, but which part of the
books should we look at first?”
