November is Here!

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:

1. Subject: What was the book about?
2. Summary: What did you learn from the book?

• Some other important questions to ask yourself in this outline are:

1. Did you enjoy the book?
2. Was the book written well?
3. Was the author's objective clear by the end?
4. Who do you think the target audience is?
5. Is the book part of a series?
6. Would you recommend this book to a friend, and if so, why?

This project is due November 22.
