Summary: "Fishing”, one entry in the Fun Sports for Fitness book series, is a very straightforward informational how-to guide for potential young anglers. It introduces children to fishing-related equipment, styles, strategies, safety tips, environmental concerns, and pertinent vocabulary.
Characteristics That Support the Genre: This text includes an appropriate amount of background information for younger elementary children related to the hobby of fishing, and reads much like a how-to guide.
Mentor Writing Traits: (1) Idea – The topic of fishing is a fun hobby to learn and talk about, and such a how-to book would be easy for children to emulate. (2) Organization – The book is nicely structured with distinct topic sections, a glossary, and index.
Classroom Integration: This book would provide a fantastic mentor text for younger students to use as inspiration for their own how-to guides. They could explain all aspects of something that is personally significant to them, and frame it within a similar informational book. This would also be a good book to use for a Read Aloud to expose inner-city children to activities not extensively practiced in their community.
Other Suggestions: I would suggest this book as being appropriate for readers in approximately third grade, but could be read to students in much younger grades. As an additional idea for integration in the classroom, this book could incorporate physical activity in a class by actually practicing the art of casting. This would definitely work to excite a group of children, especially in preparation for a larger novel where fishing were a primary theme.

Nonfiction/ Twin Text Entry #2
"Fishing" is a book about how to fish, from beginning to end. The book talking about the equipment, safety, and tips on catching fish. If a child wanted to go fishing this book would be able to clearly explain everything involved with a day of fishing.
I paired this book with, "Anansi Goes Fishing," retold by Eric A. Kimmel and illustrated by Janet Stevens. This is a story of a turtle that tricks a lazy spider in to making a net, catching a fish, cooking it, and letting the turtle eat the fish.
Both of these books talk about how to fish. Children would be able to compare the spider using a net to fish with using a fishing rod. After learning the proper way to fish children would also be able to point out the places where the turtle tricked the spider. These books seem best fitted for primary readers, Pre K-3rd grade.
