Reading+Non-Fiction

__​ Reading Non-Fiction__ Non-fiction is very important for many reasons. Therefore, we have been learning about it in Mrs. Mahaffey's LEAD class. Below are some important topics learned in class. Non-fiction is a great source of information pertaining to a particular subject. Some examples could be biographies, newspapers, magazines, even textbooks! Most importantly, non-fiction is everywhere. With so many books, non-fiction has many different reasons for reading it. 1.) It may help enrich, or __inform__ your knowledge. 2.) Authors could also try to talk you into--or __persuade__-- you to do something. 3.) Everyone has an opinion on things, so maybe you could run into a book trying to __explain__ their opinion or why a certain event happened.

But, not all books are non-fiction. The characteristics of non-fiction describe a non-fiction text. The four characteristics of non-fiction are: 1.) It __looks different from fiction__ because the wording, text, and information is different. 2.) The __vocab is unfamiliar__ and most likely would not be spoken the same way in a daily conversation. 3.) __Graphic aids are usually included__. Diagrams, models, etc. may be in the text. 4.) Lastly, it is a __great deal of information to be understood and remembered.__
