Nonfiction is like an umbrella and its broken down into different sub genres such as: biographies, autobiographies, expository texts, and memoirs. There is no one format for nonfiction books, but most books can follow the "Criteria for Nonfiction".
- What are the qualifications of the author?
- Are the facts accurate?
- What is the purpose and scope of the book?
- How does the organization of the book assist readers in locating information?
- What role do visuals play?
Reflection:
Nonfiction books are used very much in my grade level. Students at a fourth grade level must write an expository composition in their state examination. Therefore, students are exposed in any ways to nonfiction books. They hold a lot of information, excellent visuals, and very reliable. I personally love to read the National Geographic for Kids to the students. I really like their photographs and their valuable information.
