1 Draw a Venn Diagram and assign the details on the next slide to the categories of Fiction or Nonfiction.

2 Literary elements Main idea and details Read for entertainment Read for information, learning, or persuasion Mostly organized in sequence of plot events Paragraphs signal change in speaker, event, or location Paragraphs signal change in idea/topic Can be organized in many different ways Preview using Title, cover Preview using text features Dialogue from characters Quotations from real people

3 Apples vs. Oranges How are eating an apple and an orange different? How can this be used as an analogy for reading fiction and nonfiction differently?

4 Peeling the Orange Reading nonfiction Before reading an magazine article, newspaper article, textbook, web article, etc You must preview the text features

5 As a reader Your job as a reader is to take notice of these text features before you read so that they help you predict what you will be reading. During reading, so that they help you understand the main ideas of the text. After reading, to understand why they were valuable to you, the reader.

6 TEXT FEATURES We are going to focus on informational reading, which is a type of literature whose purpose is to give information. To help readers understand the ideas in the text, authors of informational reading usually format their text with something called TEXT FEATURES, which you are probably familiar with.

7 Text Features are --techniques that make text look different and stand out --used to make information easier to read and understand (**TEXT FEATURES ORGANIZE IDEAS IN A TEXT)

8 Common Text Features Bulleted List --easily displays a list of items where the order of the items is not important Notice how the bullets on this recipe make the ingredients list easier to read.

9 Common Text Features Numbered List --easily displays a list of items where the order of the items is important Notice how the numbers on this recipe help make the list of cooking steps easier to read. It also helps you follow the steps in the correct ORDER!

10 Common Text Features Headings (example on next slide) --a title to show the main idea of an entire passage Subheadings (example on next slide) --a title under the heading to further break that text into sections White Space (example on next slide) --extra spaces between text to separate it into sections so the reader can find information easily

11 heading subheading white space

12 Common Text Features graphics --visuals that help the reader understand concepts presented in the text (not just for show) -- include maps, charts, pictures, diagrams, tables, timelines captions --text under a graphic that gives an explanation of the graphic table timeline map chart diagram

13 Common Text Features Columns --vertical (up and down) sections of text that are easier to read than text that stretches across the entire page --separated by white space

14 Common Text Features Font changes --different ways to make words look different and add emphasis to certain words --includes bold print, different colored fonts, italics, underlining, ALL CAPS Notice the font effects used in this paragraph about instant messaging etiquette. IMs are meant to be casual, but it's a real turn-off when messages are FULL of typos. It's not a test, but you want people to understand you. It may help to slow down and think a little before typing. Don't be haughty, either. It's not your job to criticize someone else's typing, unless it's really horrible. Remember, you're using an IM to communicate. If you're not communicating, what's the point?

15 Common Text Features Sidebar --a box of text that gives you side information related to the topic of the text you are reading; sometimes this is additional Notice this web page of a information; sometimes it software company features is interesting facts or a sidebar to the left to show the reader key trivia about your topic features of the software.
