Non-Fiction Texts



Last week, we looked at different fiction texts and genres. This week in class we will be looking at non-fiction books and materials.

Non-Fiction vs. Fiction

Non-Fiction vs Fiction Practice


Topics we will discuss are biographies, autobiographies, historical and scientific informational texts, manuals, instructions, how-to guides, journalism, diaries, letters, and photographs. Think of non-fiction books you have read, or of topics for which you would like to read more non-fiction texts about.



In the comments section, write about a non-fiction book you have read. Include a short summary along with the title and author of the book.

Or write about a topic you would like to read more about. Explain why you would like to read more about that topic, and which types of materials would you need to read to get the information.

    1. Not sure if I understand your comment. I think you mean that you read a book about the Titanic, and that it gave you information about when and where it happened? So tell us then, when and where did it happen?

      If you are still looking for more information, here are a few sites to check out:

      Also don't forget to leave your initials at the end of your message next time, so that I know who to give credit for the comment.

      Thanks for leaving the comment.
