Z--5th / RJ Not Yet Active Learner 2
Your brain approaches fiction and nonfiction differently.
--When reading FICTION, your brain automatically begins thinking: "What will the plot be like; how will it develop? Who will the main characters be? What conflict will arise?" It thinks about literary elements and how they affect the story.
--When reading INFORMATIONAL NONFICTION (websites-magazine-newspaper articles / reports / historical documents, etc.), your brain should ask: "What will I learn about the topic named in the title?
--Will I be taught about it OBJECTIVELY = without a bias--just information presented or SUBJECTIVELY = author's attitude is apparent and in somes cases material is designed to persuade readers one way or another?
As you get into the NONFICTION material you will often notice:
--SUBHEADINGS: "mini-titles" within the material that break down the overall title into major points / suggest a structure-order to the material.
--GRAPHICS: photos, charts, graphs, artwork, etc. used to convey or enhance information. You MUST read the graphics as well!
In magazine and newspaper articles:
Byline: The name of the author of the article.
Dateline: A heading that tells where a story is being reported from.
Headline: The title of article.
