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.
