This month's literature project is Informational Nonfiction. Informational nonfiction is any book of facts that is NOT a biography. Information Nonfiction books do not usually have plots, so when doing the literature project students should focus on presenting facts rather than story elements like characters, setting and plot (problem/solution). The purpose of an informational nonfiction book is to teach or inform the reader about the subject, so the purpose of a student's literature project on this genre should be to teach the audience about the subject matter.
Important points for
Nonfiction include:
- Subject: What was the book about?
- Summary: What did you learn from the book?
- Some other important questions to ask yourself in this outline are:
- Did you enjoy the book?
- Was the book written well?
- Was the author's objective clear by the end?
- Who do you think the target audience is?
- Is the book part of a series?
- Would you recommend this book to a friend, and if so, why?
This project is due November 22.
