Iditarod

The Iditarod is coming in about six days!  This is a great sporting event to follow. Look for lots of information at  http://www.adn.com/iditarod/ and  http://www.iditarod.com/learn/.  See the map of the route the teams will follow this year at http://www.iditarod.com/race/route.html.
Reading about the Iditarod is reading nonfiction -- current events. The above internet sites about the Iditarod use lots of external text features including photos, captions, maps, headings, titles, charts, bullets, etc. I'm writing this in a caption for the picture above.
