Introduction to Non-fiction Reading

Today we learned about non-fiction text structures. We learned about the 3 types of non-fiction. We also learned about the different text structures that appear commonly in expository non-fiction. Can you list the 6 common non-fiction text structures? We also learned that some non-fiction writing blends combines elements of fiction writing. 

Bake sales on tomorrow. Bring some money to support causes if you would like too.

 All Classes: Optional but EXPECTED!
Do you want to get published in the Middles School Magazine? Read these guidelines below.  This is optional but I would hope that many of you will choose a small section of your work to present for publication

Task 1: Use tonight to select the poem or exerpt from a piece you want to present. Write an intro. ot the piece explaining why this section is so special.  Create a new file and drop your piece into this file. Add your new file to this doc. Tigertales Submission. More instructions tomorrow.

The Non-fiction lesson today was really interesting. I found it helpful and I didn't know that NF could have narrative techniques in it!

If our Tiger Tales submission is a piece of poetry, do we still have to write an introduction explaining it?

Last year we didn't so I would assume no.
